But

<<according to the one

<<who said

<<hidden things

<<in a fire

<<he was asking about,

<<what

<<are needed

<<for him

<<the verses?

<<He would say

<<to you:

<<hidden things

<<and one

<<of those

<<he was asking about.

Granted,

<<according to the one

<<who said

<<these

<<two,

<<that is

<<why is written:

<<“But would not

<<consent

<<(David)

<<to drink them” —

<<he said:

<<since

<<there is

<<a prohibition,

<<it is not

<<pleasing

<<to me.

<<But

<<according to the one

<<who said

<<hidden things

<<in a fire

<<he was asking about,

<<now,

<<a tradition

<<it is

<<that they sent

<<him,

<<what is

<<“would not

<<consent

<<(David)

<<to drink them”?

That he did not

<<say them

<<in their name.

<<He said:

<<thus

<<I have received

<<from the court

<<of

<<Shmuel

<<of Ramah:

<<anyone

<<who gives over

<<himself

<<to die

<<for

<<the words of

<<Torah,

<<they do not

<<say

<<a word of

<<halachah

<<in his name.

“And he poured

<<them

<<to Hashem” —

<<granted,

<<according to the one

<<who said

<<these

<<two,

<<because

<<he did it

<<for the sake of

<<Heaven.

<<But

<<according to the one

<<who said

<<hidden things

<<in a fire,

<<what is

<<“and he poured

<<them

<<to Hashem”?

<<That he said them

<<in the name of

<<the tradition.

MISHNAH:

<<If it crossed

<<a fence

<<that is

<<high

<<four

<<cubits,

<<or

<<a public road,

<<or

<<a river —

<<he is exempt.

GEMARA:

<<But it was taught:

<<if it crossed

<<a fence

<<that is

<<high

<<four

<<cubits —

<<he is liable!

Rav Pappa said:

<<the Tanna

<<of ours

<<counts

<<from above

<<to below:

<<six

<<cubits —

<<exempt;

<<five

<<cubits —

<<exempt;

<<down to

<<four

<<cubits —

<<exempt.

<<The Tanna

<<outside

<<from below

<<to above

<<counts:

<<two

<<cubits —

<<liable;

<<three

<<cubits —

<<liable;

<<up to

<<four

<<cubits —

<<liable.

Rava said:

<<the four

<<cubits

<<of which they said

<<that he is exempt —

<<even

<<in a field of

<<thorns.

<<Rav Pappa said:

<<and from the edge of

<<the thorns

<<and upward

<<four

<<cubits.

Rav said:

<<they did not

<<teach it

<<except

<<with a fire that blazes high,

<<but

<<with one that blazes low,

<<even

<<up to

<<a hundred

<<cubits

<<he is liable.

<<And Shmuel

<<said:

<<our Mishnah

<<is with one that blazes low,

<<but

<<with one that blazes high,

<<even

<<any

<<amount

<<he is exempt.

It was taught

<<in accordance with

<<Rav:

<<in what case are these words said?

<<With a fire that blazes high;

<<but

<<with one that blazes low

<<and wood

<<is available

<<for it,

<<even

<<up to

<<a hundred

<<mil

<<he is liable.

<<If it crossed

<<a river

<<or

<<a shelulis

<<that are

<<wide

<<eight

<<cubits —

<<he is exempt.

A road

<<of the public.

<<Which

<<Tanna?

<<Rava said:

<<Rabbi Eliezer

<<it is,

<<for we learned:

<<Rabbi Eliezer

<<says:

<<sixteen

<<cubits,

<<like the road of

<<the public domain

<<(exempt).

Or

<<a river.

<<Rav

<<said:

<<a river

<<actually;

<<and Shmuel

<<said:

<<a channel

<<of the water-drawers.

The one

<<who said

<<a river

<<actually —

<<even though

<<there is no

<<water;

<<and the one

<<who said

<<a channel

<<of the water-drawers —

<<if

<<there is

<<in it

<<water,

<<yes;

<<but

<<there is not

<<in it

<<water,

<<no.

We learned

<<there:

<<and these

<<divide

<<for pe'ah:

<<the stream,

<<and the shelulis,

<<and a road of

<<the individual,

<<and a road of

<<the public.

What is

<<a shelulis?

<<Rav Yehuda said in the name of Shmuel:

<<a place

<<where waters of

<<rain

<<gather

<<there.

<<Rav Beivai

<<said in the name of

<<Rabbi Yochanan:

<<a channel of

<<water

<<that distributes

<<spoil

<<to its banks.

The one

<<who said

<<a place

<<where waters of

<<rain

<<gather

<<there —

<<all the more so

<<a channel of

<<water;

<<and the one

<<who said

<<a channel of

<<water —

<<but

<<a place

<<where waters of

<<rain

<<gather

<<there

<<do not

<<divide,

<<for those
