English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: A dried-up vineyard, if it contains ten producing vines per bet seah and they are planted regularly, is called vineyard. A poor vineyard, one that is planted irregularly, if in it one can ascertain three parallel to two is a vineyard, otherwise it is not a vineyard. Rebbi Meïr said, since it has the appearance of vineyards, it is a vineyard.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joḥanan said: A bald spot in a vineyard is like a vineyard that dried up. One clears the ground of a bald spot in a vineyard in its interior, one clears the ground of a dried-up vineyard on all sides.

Rebbi Zeïra showed to the colleagues: Nine rows of seven each. Take away one next to another for the warp and one next to another for the woof. There remain 20 vines. Take away two from each side in one direction, one from each side in the other direction. There remain 10 vines. That is what we have stated: “Ten vines per bet seah”. It turns out that there are four times two parallel two and one protrudes as tail.

One assumes that another [vine] was planted there, for all four sides. One cannot actually plant on any of the four sides because it would form a tail and there is no tail for a tail. This implies that there is no tail for a large vineyard, which gives a simple answer to the question of Rebbi Yose ben Zabida in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: one considers as if another [vine] was planted there.

It turns out to be 64 by 48. Take two from here and put them there, that turns out to be 48 by 48. Take out one in between, one in between, and make a bald spot 16 by 16 that can be tended by eight cubits. How do you treat it? Itself and the area to tend it within a bet seah, or without the area to tend it? If you take it with the area to tend it within the bet seah, then 348 are missing. If you take it without the area to tend it, there is an excess of 45218. You might say, they are separated as single ones. You might say, they are closer together: we have stated only “10 per bet seah;” you could not state that.

“ The trunk is aligned but the top is not aligned, that is a vineyard. The top is aligned but the trunk is not aligned, that is not a vineyard. If they were thin, but when they grow thick they will be aligned, that is a vineyard. How does one know that they are aligned? One brings a rope and stretches it.” Some Tannaïm state: “From within.” But some Tannaïm state: “From without.” Rebbi Jonah said, he who says “from within,” within a hand-breadth, but he who says “from without” requires that it touches. “If the outer row is not aligned in its trunks, one reserves for it the space to tend it and one may sow the rest.” Rebbi Yose says, if one sows within six hand-breadths all is forbidden; outside of six hand-breadths single vines are permitted but a vineyard is forbidden.

What means “a poor vineyard?” Rebbi Jonah said, it is poor in vines but rich in tending areas.
