Jerusalem Talmud Kilayim 3.3

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: It is permitted that a vertex of vegetables enter a field of other vegetables, since it is visibly the end of its field. If one’s field was sown with vegetables and he wants to plant in it a row of a different vegetable, Rebbi Ismael says, not unless he has an open furrow from one end of the field to the other. Rebbi Aqiba says, a length of six hand-breadths for a full width. Rebbi Jehudah says, the width must be the width of the sole of a foot.

HALAKHAH: “A vertex, etc.” Bar Qappara stated: He sows in it only one kind.

What did Rebbi Ismael say about the width? Now if Rebbi Aqiba, who encloses it from three sides, requires a full width, Rebbi Ismael who encloses it by two rows, not so much more? What does Rebbi Ismael say about a row of vegetables in a grain field? Now if Rebbi Aqiba, who is more lenient here, is restrictive there, Rebbi Ismael, who is more restrictive here, certainly will be restrictive there! No, this is not necessarily so. What does Rebbi Ismael say there about width? As we say there, there is no difference between Rebbi Aqiba and Rebbi Ismael in matters of width.

Samuel said, they taught only one row, hence two are forbidden. Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish both say that there is no difference between one and two rows.

Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, it is permitted to split four rows in an open field. Rebbi Joḥanan said, only if the two outer rows be treated as garden beds. Rebbi Zeïra said, only if three are within six.

Rebbi Ḥuna said, what is the reason of Rebbi Jehudah? (Deut. 11:10) “That you irrigated with your feet as in a vegetable garden.” What is the measure of a foot sole? A hand-breadth.

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

We have stated the opinion of Rebbi Jehudah here, and we have stated it there. If it had been stated here but not there, we would have said that just as Rebbi Jehudah who is restrictive here is permissive there, the rabbis who are permissive here certainly will be permissive there. Hence, it is necessary to state there. Or if it was stated there but not here, we would have said that just as the rabbis who are restrictive there are permissive here, Rebbi Jehudah who is permissive there certainly will be permissive here. Hence, it is necessary to state both here and there.
