(דברים יט ה) **וַאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶת רֵעֵהוּ בַּיַּעַר**, מָה יַּעַר, רְשׁוּת לַנִּזָּק וְלַמַּזִּיק לִכָּנֵס שָׁם – אַף כָּל שֶׁהוּא רְשׁוּת לַנִּזָּק וְלַמַּזִּיק לִכָּנֵס לְשָׁם. יָצָאת חֲצַר שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת שֶׁאֵין רְשׁוּת לַנִּזָּק וְלַמַּזִּיק לִכָּנֵס שָׁם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 19:5) "And one who comes with his neighbor in the forest": Just as a forest is a place that the slain and the slayer were permitted to enter, so all such places (are subsumed in the *halachah*) — to exclude the owner's courtyard, which the slayer had no right to enter.

[Sifrei Devarim 182:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/182:2)

**לַחְטֹב עֵצִים**, אַבָּה שָׁאוּל אוֹמֵר: מַה חֲטִיבַת עֵצִים רְשׁוּת – אַף כָּל שֶׁהוּא רְשׁוּת, יָצָא הָאָב הַמַּכֶּה אֶת בְּנוֹ, וְהָרַב הָרוֹדֶה אֶת תַּלְמִידוֹ, וּשְׁלִיחַ בֵּית דִּין.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"to chop wood": Abba Shaul says: Just as the chopping of wood is a (merely) "*permitted*" activity, so, all such activities are subsumed (in the *halachah*) — to exclude (a mitzvah activity, such as) a father beating his son (to chastise him), etc.
