MISHNAH: A large courtyard was in Jerusalem called Bet Ya`zeq; there all witnesses assembled and there the Court examined them. A big meal one prepared for them so they should get used to come. Originally they did not move from there the entire day. The Elder Rabban Gamliel instituted that they could walk 2’000 cubits in every direction. Not only these but also the midwife who comes to assist in a birth, and one who comes to save from a fire, and from the army, and from a collapse, are like the people of the town and have 2’000 cubits in every direction.

“Originally they did not move from there the entire day.” They changed and made them like a vessel which was brought from outside the Sabbath domain after nightfall which one is permitted to move within four cubits. They changed and made them like vessels which started Sabbath in a courtyard which one is permitted to move within the courtyard, until the elder Rabban Gamliel came and instituted that they could walk 2’000 cubits in every direction. It was stated, this also applies to one who comes to circumcise a baby. The baraita follows Rebbi Eliezer, since we have stated there, “in addition, Rebbi Eliezar said, one cuts down trees to make charcoal to make iron.”
