###### Eruvin 92b:1
[Eruvin 92b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:1)

גְּפָנִים מוּתָּרִין. גְּפָנִים בַּקְּטַנָּה — מוּתָּר לִזְרוֹעַ אֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The vines,** however, **are permitted,** as the small courtyard does not extend into and impact upon the large one. The converse is also true: If there are **vines in the small** courtyard, **it is permitted to sow** other crops **in the large one** *ab initio*, even if they are not planted four cubits away from the vines, because the vines are not considered to be located in the larger courtyard, and therefore there is no prohibition whatsoever.


###### Eruvin 92b:2
[Eruvin 92b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:2)

אִשָּׁה בַּגְּדוֹלָה וָגֵט בַּקְּטַנָּה — מִתְגָּרֶשֶׁת. אִשָּׁה בַּקְּטַנָּה וְגֵט בַּגְּדוֹלָה — אֵינָהּ מִתְגָּרֶשֶׁת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Likewise, if there were two adjacent courtyards, and **a wife,** who owned both courtyards, was standing **in the large** courtyard, **and** her husband threw her **a bill of divorce** into **the small** courtyard, **she is divorced.** Her presence in the larger courtyard extends to the smaller one, and she is therefore considered to be standing in the small courtyard. If, however, **the wife was in the small** courtyard **and the bill of divorce** was thrown into **the large one, she is not divorced.**


###### Eruvin 92b:3
[Eruvin 92b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:3)

צִבּוּר בַּגְּדוֹלָה וּשְׁלִיחַ צִבּוּר בַּקְּטַנָּה — יוֹצְאִין יְדֵי חוֹבָתָן. צִיבּוּר בַּקְּטַנָּה וּשְׁלִיחַ צִבּוּר בַּגְּדוֹלָה — אֵין יוֹצְאִין יְדֵי חוֹבָתָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Likewise, with regard to communal prayer, if the **congregation** was **in the large** courtyard, **and the prayer leader** was **in the small one, they fulfill their obligation** through his prayer, as the congregation is considered to be in the small one as well. However, if **the congregation** was **in the small** courtyard, **and the prayer leader** was **in the large one, they do not fulfill their obligation.**


###### Eruvin 92b:4
[Eruvin 92b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:4)

תִּשְׁעָה בַּגְּדוֹלָה וְיָחִיד בַּקְּטַנָּה — מִצְטָרְפִין. תִּשְׁעָה בַּקְּטַנָּה וְאֶחָד בַּגְּדוֹלָה — אֵין מִצְטָרְפִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The same principle applies to a prayer quorum: If there were **nine** men **in the large** courtyard **and one** man **in the small one, they join** together to form the necessary quorum of ten, as the small courtyard is subsumed within the large one, and the individual is considered to be in the large courtyard. However, if there were **nine** men **in the small** courtyard **and one in the large one, they do not join** together.


###### Eruvin 92b:5
[Eruvin 92b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:5)

צוֹאָה בַּגְּדוֹלָה — אָסוּר לִקְרוֹת קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע בַּקְּטַנָּה. צוֹאָה בַּקְּטַנָּה — מוּתָּר לִקְרוֹת קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע בַּגְּדוֹלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Furthermore, if there was **excrement in the large** courtyard, **it is prohibited to recite *Shema* in the small one,** as the excrement is considered to be in the small courtyard as well, and it is prohibited to recite *Shema* in the presence of excrement. If, however, there was **excrement in the small** courtyard, **it is permitted to recite *Shema* in the large one.**


###### Eruvin 92b:6
[Eruvin 92b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:6)

אֲמַר לְהוּ אַבָּיֵי: אִם כֵּן, מָצִינוּ מְחִיצָה לְאִיסּוּר. שֶׁאִילְמָלֵי אֵין מְחִיצָה, מַרְחִיק אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת וְזוֹרֵעַ, וְאִילּוּ הַשְׁתָּא אֲסוּרָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said to them: If so, we have found a partition that** causes **prohibition.** According to these principles, the existence of a partition renders sowing crops prohibited; in the absence of a partition sowing the crops would have been permitted due to their distance from the vines. Ostensibly, this is a counterintuitive conclusion. **As, were there no partition** at all, it would be sufficient to **distance** oneself **four cubits** from the vine **and sow** the crop, **whereas now** that the area is divided into two courtyards by means of a partition, **it is prohibited** to sow the crop in the entire small courtyard.


###### Eruvin 92b:7
[Eruvin 92b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:7)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי זֵירָא לְאַבָּיֵי: וְלֹא מָצִינוּ מְחִיצָה לְאִיסּוּר?! וְהָא תְּנַן: חָצֵר גְּדוֹלָה שֶׁנִּפְרְצָה לִקְטַנָּה — גְּדוֹלָה מוּתֶּרֶת וּקְטַנָּה אֲסוּרָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא כְּפִתְחָהּ שֶׁל גְּדוֹלָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Zeira said to Abaye: And didn’t we find a partition that** causes **prohibition? But didn’t we learn** in the mishna: With regard to **a large courtyard that was breached into a small** one, it is **permitted** for the residents of **the large** courtyard to carry, **but** it is **prohibited** for the residents of **the small one** to do so. That is **because** in that case, the legal status of the breach **is like** that of **the entrance of the large** courtyard.


###### Eruvin 92b:8
[Eruvin 92b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:8)

וְאִילּוּ הִשְׁוָה אֶת גִּיפּוּפֶיהָ גְּדוֹלָה נָמֵי אֲסוּרָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And if he were to even its protrusions** by constructing partitions in the larger courtyard so that the large courtyard no longer protruded beyond the smaller one, carrying in **the large** courtyard would **also be prohibited,** as it would now be completely breached into the smaller courtyard. Apparently, in this case, construction of additional partitions causes prohibition.


###### Eruvin 92b:9
[Eruvin 92b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Eruvin/r/92b:9)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ, הָתָם סִילּוּק מְחִיצּוֹת הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Abaye **said to** Rabbi Zeira: The two cases are not comparable, as **there,** adding partitions in order to even the protrusions is not considered establishment of partitions. On the contrary, **it is** effectively **the removal of partitions.** These partitions are designed to negate the original partitions of the courtyard.

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבָא לְאַבָּיֵי: וְלֹא מָצִינוּ מְחִיצָה לְאִיסּוּר? וְהָא אִתְּמַר:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said to Abaye: And didn’t we find a partition that** causes **prohibition? But wasn’t it stated:**
