MISHNAH: One does not build steps out of ravines before the Sabbatical year after the rains stopped because that is preparation for the Sabbatical. But he may build during the Sabbatical year after the rains stopped because that is preparation for the year after the Sabbatical. One should not fill with earth but he may use it for a divider. Any stone may be taken if he can stretch out his hand and take it.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Crispus in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, Ḥananiah ben Gamliel: The Mishnah refers to the prohibition of the two terms. It was stated: “Rebbi Jehudah and Rebbi Neḥemiah forbid it.” Does this not refer to the prohibition of the two terms, so here also about the prohibition of the two terms. Rebbi Shammai inquired: If this is about the prohibition of the two terms, did we state that one is permitted to plough but forbidden to build? So it must refer to the permission of the two terms. If it refers to the permission of the two terms, we have stated: “But he may build during the Sabbatical year after the rains stopped because that is preparation for the year after the Sabbatical.” Rebbi Mana said, is Rebbi Shammai correct? In the first case, one is permitted to plough because that prepares for the year after the Sabbatical. It is forbidden to build since that prepares for the Sabbatical. The Mishnah does not say so, “but he may build during the Sabbatical year after the rains stopped because that is preparation for the year after the Sabbatical.”

“He should not cover it with earth but he may use it for a divider.” What is a divider? It divides, as it is said (Ez. 13:10): “He is building a dividing wall.”
