One who left his house and went to spend the Sabbath in another town, whether a gentile or a Jew, restricts — [these are] the words of R’ Meir. R’ Yehudah says: He does not restrict. R’ Yose says: A gentile restricts, a Jew does not restrict, for it is un-usual for a Jew to return on the Sabbath. R’ Shimon says: Even one who left his house and went to spend the Sabbath at his daughter’s [house] in the same town does not restrict, for he has already dismissed [any thought of returning] from his mind.

If a cistern is between two courtyards, we may not draw [water] from it on the Sab-bath, unless they made a partition for it ten fists high, whether above or below, or within its walls. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Beis Shammai say below; but Beis Hillel say above. R’ Yehudah said: A partition should not be more effective than the wall that is between them.
