A secondary story built upon two houses, or bridges under which a road passes, one may carry beneath them on the Sabbath — [these are] the words of R’ Yehudah. But the Sages prohibit. R’ Yehudah also said: We may make an eruv for an open alley. But the Sages prohibit.

One who finds tefillin should bring them in pair [by] pair. Rabban Gamliel says: Two [by] two. To what do these words apply? To old ones, but for new ones he is exempt. If he found them tied in pairs or bundles, he must wait near them until dark, then bring them in. But in a time of danger, he may cover them and leave.

R’ Shimon says: He hands them to his friend, and his friend to his friend, until he reaches the outermost courtyard. So, too, his child; he hands him to his friend, and his friend to his friend, even if they are a hundred. R’ Yehudah says: A person may hand a barrel to his friend, and his friend to his friend, even beyond the techum. They said to him: This should not go further than the feet of its owners.

If one was reading a book [of Scripture] on the threshold [and] the book rolled from his hand, he may roll it to himself. If he was reading on top of the roof and the book rolled from his hand, as long as it has not yet reached within ten fists [of the ground], he may roll it to himself; once it has reached ten fists, he should turn it over on its writing. R’ Yehudah says: Even if it is only removed from the ground by the width of a needle, he may roll it to himself. R’ Shimon says: Even on the very ground, he may roll it to himself; for no Rabbinically prohibited matter may stand in the way of the Holy Scripture.

A ledge which is in front of a window, one may put onto it and take from it on the Sabbath. A person may stand in a private domain and move objects in a public domain, [or] in a public domain and move objects in a private domain; provided he does not take [them] beyond four cubits.

A person may not stand in a private domain and urinate into a public domain, [or] in a public domain and urinate into a private domain. Similarly, he may not expectorate. R’ Yehudah says: Even when one’s saliva has become detached in his mouth, he may not walk four cubits until he expectorates.

A person may not stand in a private domain and drink in a public domain, [or] in a public domain and drink in a private domain, unless he brings his head and most of his body into the domain in which he drinks; similarly regarding a wine pit. A person may catch [water] from a gutter lower than ten fists. But from a pipe, he may drink in any manner.

If a cistern is in a public domain and its embankment is ten fists high, the window above it may [be used to] draw from it on the Sabbath. If a rubbish heap in a public domain is ten fists high, the window above it may [be used to] pour water into it on the Sabbath.

A tree which droops over the ground — if its branches are not three fists higher than the ground, we may carry beneath it. If its roots are higher than three fists above the ground, one may not sit on them. The door of a backyard, thorns which are in a breach, and mats — we may not close with them unless they are above the ground.

A person may not stand in a private domain while unlocking in a public domain, [or] in a public domain while unlocking in a private domain, unless he makes a partition ten fists high — [these are] the words of R’ Meir. They said to him: It happened that in the butchers’ market in Jerusalem they would lock and place the key in a window above the door. R’ Yose says: It was the wool merchants’ market.

A door bolt which has a knob at its end — R’ Eliezer prohibits [its use]; but R’ Yose permits. Said R’ Eliezer: It happened that in the synagogue in Tiberias they were accus-tomed to permit this, until Rabban Gamliel and the Sages came and forbade it to them. R’ Yose says: They were accustomed to forbid this; Rabban Gamliel and the Sages came and permitted it to them.

A door bolt which drags [on the ground], we may lock with it in the Temple, but not in the provinces; but one which rests [on the ground] is prohibited here and there. R’ Yehudah says: One which rests is permitted in the Temple; but one which drags [even] in the provinces.

We may reinsert the lower pivot in the Temple, but not in the provinces; but the upper one is prohibited here and there. R’ Yehudah says: The upper one in the Temple and the lower one in the provinces.

We may replace a dressing in the Temple, but not in the provinces; if for the first time, it is prohibited here and there. We may tie a string in the Temple, but not in the provinces; if for the first time, it is prohibited here and there. We may cut off a wart in the Temple, but not in the provinces; if with an instrument, it is prohibited here and there.

A Kohen who injured his finger may wrap reed-grass over it in the Temple, but not in the provinces. If to force out blood, it is prohibited here and there. We may spread salt on the ramp so that they should not slip. And we may draw water from the Exile’s Well and from the Great Well with a windlass on the Sabbath; and from the Flowing Well on Yom Tov.
