AND A SIMILAR LAW APPlies TO A WINEPRESS. Raba, however, explained: The reference is to tithe; and so explained R. Shesheth: AND A SIMILAR LAW APPLIES TO A WINEPRESS refers to tithe. For we learned: It is permitted to drink wine out of a winepress irrespective of whether it was mixed with hot water or cold water, and to be exempt from the tithe; so R. Meir. R. Eliezer b. Zadok declared it to be liable to tithe, while the Sages ruled: In the case of hot wine one is liable to the tithe but in that of cold wine one is exempt since whatever remains is poured back. MISHNAH. A MAN MAY INTERCEPT WATER FROM A GUTTER AT A LEVEL BELOW TEN HANDBREADTHS FROM THE GROUND, BUT FROM A WATER-SPOUT HE MAY DRINK IN ANY MANNER. GEMARA. He may only INTERCEPT the water but may not press his lips to the gutter. What is the reason? — R. Nahman replied: We are here dealing with a gutter that was withn three handbreadths from the roof, since any structure that is within three handbreadths from the roof is regarded as being the same domain as the roof. So it was also taught: A man standing in a private domain may raise his hand above ten handbreadths towards a gutter that was within less than three handbreadths from a roof and intercept the water, provided he does not press this lips to it]. Elsewhere it was taught: A man standing in a private domain may not raise his hand above ten handbreadths towards a gutter ‘that was within less than three handbreadths from a roof and press it to it, but he may intercept [the water] and then drink. FROM A WATER-SPOUT HE MAY DRINK IN ANY MANNER. One taught: If the spout had an area of four handbreadths by four this is forbidden because this would be like taking from one domain into another. MISHNAH. IF A CISTERN IN A PUBLIC DOMAIN HAD AN EMBANKMENT TEN HANDBREADTHS HIGH, IT IS PERMITTED TO DRAW WATER FROM IT ON THE SABBATH THROUGH A WINDOW ABOVE IT. IF A RUBBISH-HEAP IN A PUBLIC DOMAIN WAS TEN HANDBREADTHS HIGH, IT IS PERMITTED TO POUR WATER ON IT ON THE SABBATH FROM A WINDOW ABOVE IT. GEMARA. What are we dealing with here? If it be Suggested: With one that was near, what need was there, [it might be objected,] for an embankment that was ten handbreadths high? — R. Huna replied: We are here dealing with a cistern that was removed four handbreadths from the wall. Hence it is only where there was an embankment ten handbreadths high that the ruling applies. but where there was no embankment ten handbreadths high one would be moving an object from one private domain into another by way of a public domain. R. Johanan, however, replied: It may even be assumed to refer to a cistern that was near, but it is this that we were informed: That the depth of a cistern and the height of its embankment may be combined to the prescribed depth of ten handbreadths. IF A RUBBISH-HEAP IN A PUBLIC DOMAIN etc. There is no need then to provide against the possibility that the rubbish’ heap might be removed; but did not Rabin son of R. Adda state in the name of R. Isaac: It once occurred that one side of an alley terminated in the sea and the other terminated in a rubbish heap. and when the facts were submitted to Rabbi he neither permitted nor forbade the movement of objects in that alley; he did not declare it to be permitted since the possibility had to be considered that the rubbish-heap might be removed or the sea might throw up alluvium, and he did not declare it to be forbidden because partitions in fact existed? — This is no difficulty, since the latter refers to one that belonged to an individual whereas the former refers to one that belonged to the public. MISHNAH. WHERE A TREE OVERSHADOWS THE GROUND IT IS PERMITTED TO MOVE OBJECTS UNDER IT IF THE TOPS OF ITS BRANCHES ARE NOT HIGHER THAN THREE HANDBREADTHS FROM THE GROUND. IF ITS ROOTS ARE THREE HANDBREADTHS HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND ONE MAY NOT SIT ON THEM. GEMARA. R. Huna the son of R. Joshua ruled: No objects may be moved under it where the area was greater than two beth se'ah. What is the reason?
