And if they wanted, they could [also] make two eruvs, these for themselves and those for themselves. [But if] the window was less than four or it was all above ten, they may [only] make two eruvs, these for themselves and those for themselves.

To a window that is between two courtyards. But [in the case of a window] between two houses, even if it is above ten — and likewise a window between a house and an attic — they may make one eruv, even though there is no ladder between them. And that is when it has four by four. [If] the window was round — if there is enough to square it to be four by four, it is certainly like [such a] square.

However if there was a ladder from here and a ladder from there between them, it is surely like an entrance. So they may [also] make one eruv, if they wanted. And even [if] the ladder was straight and [immediately] adjacent to the wall, such that we surely cannot climb on it until it is pulled back and distanced from the wall, it certainly permits [it]. And even [if] the top of the ladder did not reach the top of the wall — if there was less than three handbreadths left between them — it certainly permits [it], and they may [also] make one eruv, if they wanted.

[In a case] that there is not four in the wall's width: If there is not three [handbreadths] between the ladders, they may [also] make one eruv. [But if there was [at least] three between them, they may [only] make two eruvs.

[If] the lower one does not have four handbreadths, but there is not three [handbreadths] between it and the higher one, it [also] reduces [it]. So they may [also] make one eruv, if they wanted. And likewise with wooden steps that they placed next to the wall.

But if he put the ladder to the side of the ledge, it does not reduce [the height of the wall. If] the height of the wall was nineteen handbreadths, one may put out a ledge in the middle and make one eruv, if they wanted. For there is less than ten from the ledge to the ground and less than ten from the [top of the] ledge to the top of the wall. [But if] the height of the wall was more than twenty handbreadths, there is a need for two ledges — the one not being in line with the other — until there be less than ten between the lower ledge and the ground and less than ten between the upper ledge and the top of the wall; and [then] they may make one eruv, if they wanted.

And likewise the weight of a ladder affixes it, and one need not attach it to the building. If [piles of] straw separated between two courtyards and there was a ladder from this [side] and a ladder from that [side], we may not make one eruv [but rather two]. For the sole of the foot will surely not climb the ladder, since [the ladder] has nothing [substantial] upon which to lean. If there is a ladder in the middle and [piles of] straw on this [side] and on that side, they may make two (or one) eruvs, if they wanted

[But] if they made a tree-god (asherah) into a ladder for the wall, they may not make one eruv because it is forbidden by the Torah to climb upon it — as it is surely forbidden to benefit [from it].

[If the people of one courtyard] broke down the [width of the wall] until it was reduced to be less than ten: We give the short side to this courtyard and the rest of the high wall is divided between the two courtyards.

If it was wider than ten, they may [only] make one eruv, and they may not make two eruvs.

And if he comes to make a breach [that is] more than ten at the outset, the height of the breach must be its full height.

But if he filled it with hay or straw, they do not nullify it.

[But in a case in which the balconies] were one alongside the other and not even, but rather one above its fellow: If there is less than three [handbreadths], it is surely like one balcony and they make one eruv; but if there is three or more handbreadths, they make two eruvs, these for themselves and those for themselves.

But if they did not make [such] an eruv, they may not transport from the width of this wall into the houses, nor transport from the houses to its width.

But if its use was easy for this one, and the other one is not able to throw onto it because it is deeper than it — the one for which it is easy may use it by throwing [onto it].

So we may carry vessels that rested (were there at the beginning of Shabbat) within them without an eruv; but not vessels that rested within a house, unless they made an eruv.

Whether the residents of the courtyard made an eruv or did not make an eruv, it is permitted to bring up a vessel that rested in the courtyard from the courtyard to the roof or to the top of the wall; and from the roof to another roof next to it, even though it is higher or lower than it; and from the other roof to a second courtyard; from the second courtyard to a third roof of a third courtyard; from the third courtyard to an alley; and from the alley to a fourth roof — until one has moved it [throughout] the whole city via the roofs and the courtyards or via the roofs and the enclosures or via the courtyards and enclosures or via all three, from this one to that one, and from that one to [the third] one. And that is so long as he does not transport this vessel into one of the houses, unless the people of all of these places made one eruv.
וְכֵן אִם שָׁבַת הַכְּלִי בַּבַּיִת וְהוֹצִיאוֹ לֶחָצֵר לֹא יַעֲבִירֶנּוּ לְחָצֵר אַחֶרֶת אוֹ לְגַג אַחֵר אוֹ לְרֹאשׁ הַכֹּתֶל אוֹ לְקַרְפָּף אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן עֵרְבוּ אַנְשֵׁי כָּל הַמְּקוֹמוֹת שֶׁמַּעֲבִירִין בָּהֶן כְּלִי זֶה עֵרוּב אֶחָד: And likewise if the vessel rested in a house and one transported it out to courtyard — he may not transport it to a different courtyard or to another roof or to the top of the wall or to an enclosure unless the people of all of these places, through which the vessel is being transported, made one eruv.
בּוֹר שֶׁבֵּין שְׁתֵּי חֲצֵרוֹת אֵין מְמַלְּאִין מִמֶּנּוּ בְּשַׁבָּת אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן עָשׂוּ לוֹ מְחִצָּה גְּבוֹהָה עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּהְיֶה כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד דּוֹלֶה מֵרְשׁוּתוֹ. וְהֵיכָן מַעֲמִידִין אֶת הַמְּחִצָּה. אִם הָיְתָה לְמַעְלָה מִן הַמַּיִם צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּהְיֶה טֶפַח מִן הַמְּחִצָּה יוֹרֵד בְּתוֹךְ הַמַּיִם. וְאִם הָיְתָה הַמְּחִצָּה כֻּלָּהּ בְּתוֹךְ הַמַּיִם צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּהְיֶה טֶפַח מִמֶּנָּה יוֹצֵא לְמַעְלָה מִן הַמַּיִם כְּדֵי שֶׁתִּהְיֶה נִכֶּרֶת רְשׁוּת זֶה מֵרְשׁוּת זֶה: [In a case of] a well between two courtyards, we may not fill [water] from it on Shabbat unless a partition ten handbreadths high was made for it, so that each and every one would draw from within his own domain. And how do we situate the partition? If it was above the water, a handbreadth of the partition must descend into the water. And if the partition was totally out of the water, a handbreadth of it must emerge above the water so that the domain of this one be recognizable from the domain of that one.
וְכֵן אִם עָשׂוּ עַל פִּי הַבּוֹר קוֹרָה רְחָבָה אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים זֶה מְמַלֵּא מִצַּד הַקּוֹרָה וְזֶה מְמַלֵּא מִצִּדָּהּ הָאַחֵר וּכְאִלּוּ הִבְדִּילָה חֵלֶק זֶה מֵחֵלֶק זֶה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהַמַּיִם מְעֹרָבִין מִלְּמַטָּה קַל הוּא שֶׁהֵקֵלּוּ חֲכָמִים בְּמַיִם: And likewise, if they made a beam four handbreadths wide on the mouth of the well — this one may fill from [one] side of the beam and that one may fill from its other side; and it is as if it separates this section from that section. Even though the waters are mixed below, this is a leniency about water regarding which the Sages were lenient.
בְּאֵר שֶׁבְּאֶמְצַע הַשְּׁבִיל בֵּין שְׁנֵי כָּתְלֵי חֲצֵרוֹת אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִיא מֻפְלֶגֶת מִכֹּתֶל זֶה אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים וּמִכֹּתֶל זֶה אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים שְׁנֵיהֶם מְמַלְּאִין מִמֶּנָּה וְאֵין צְרִיכִין לְהוֹצִיא זִיזִין עַל גַּבָּהּ שֶׁאֵין אָדָם אוֹסֵר עַל חֲבֵרוֹ דֶּרֶךְ אֲוִיר: [In a case of] a well in the middle of a path between two courtyard walls, both of them may fill from it, and they do not need to put out ledges over it — even though it is a distance of four handbreadths from this wall and of four handbreadths from that wall. For one does not forbid something to his fellow through the air.

But the people of the small are forbidden to carry from their houses to their courtyard until they make one eruv with the people of the large one. For the domiciles of the big one are considered like those of the small one, but the domiciles of the small one are not considered like those of the big one.

And likewise two courtyards in which this one made an eruv for itself and that one made an eruv for itself, and [then] the wall between them fell on Shabbat: These are permitted for themselves and may transport from their houses and carry to the point of the partition and those may likewise carry to the point of the partition — since part of the Shabbat was permitted, it is all permitted. And [this is the case] even though domiciles were added, since domiciles that arrive on Shabbat do not forbid [carrying. In the first case,] if the window was [subsequently] opened and an entrance was inadvertently made, or gentiles did it volitionally — they go back to their being permitted. And likewise, boats that are attached to one another and they made an eruv and [the boats then] became disconnected [on Shabbat]: It is forbidden to carry from this [one] to that [one], even if they were surrounded by partitions. [If] they were inadvertently reconnected, they go back to their being permitted.
