Mishnah 1א׳
לֹא יַחְפֹּר אָדָם בּוֹר סָמוּךְ לְבוֹרוֹ שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ, וְלֹא שִׁיחַ, וְלֹא מְעָרָה, וְלֹא אַמַּת הַמַּיִם, וְלֹא נִבְרֶכֶת כּוֹבְסִין, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הִרְחִיק מִכֹּתֶל חֲבֵרוֹ שְׁלשָׁה טְפָחִים, וְסָד בְּסִיד. מַרְחִיקִין אֶת הַגֶּפֶת וְאֶת הַזֶּבֶל וְאֶת הַמֶּלַח וְאֶת הַסִּיד וְאֶת הַסְּלָעִים מִכָּתְלוֹ שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ שְׁלשָׁה טְפָחִים, וְסָד בְּסִיד. מַרְחִיקִין אֶת הַזְּרָעִים, וְאֶת הַמַּחֲרֵשָׁה, וְאֶת מֵי רַגְלַיִם מִן הַכֹּתֶל שְׁלשָׁה טְפָחִים. וּמַרְחִיקִין אֶת הָרֵחַיִם שְׁלשָׁה מִן הַשֶּׁכֶב, שֶׁהֵן אַרְבָּעָה מִן הָרָכֶב. וְאֶת הַתַּנוּר, שְׁלשָׁה מִן הַכִּלְיָא, שֶׁהֵן אַרְבָּעָה מִן הַשָּׂפָה:
One should not dig a pit near the pit of his neighbor, nor a ditch, nor a cave, nor an irrigation pool, nor a laundry-pool, unless one distances it from one's neighbor's wall by at least three handbreadths, as well as plastering it. One should distance olive pulp, manure, salt, plaster, and rocks from one's neighbor's wall by at least three handbreadths, as well as plastering it. One should distance one's seeds, plow, and urine from one's neighbor's wall by three handbreadths. One should distance a millstone three [handbreadths] from the base-stone, which is four [handbreadths] from the uppermost stone. And one should distance an oven three [handbreadths] from its base, which is four [handbreadths] from its edge.
Mishnah 2ב׳
לֹא יַעֲמִיד אָדָם תַּנּוּר בְּתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יֵשׁ עַל גַּבָּיו גֹּבַהּ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת. הָיָה מַעֲמִידוֹ בָעֲלִיָּה, צָרִיך שֶׁיְּהֵא תַחְתָּיו מַעֲזִיבָה שְׁלשָׁה טְפָחִים. וּבַכִּירָה, טֶפַח. וְאִם הִזִּיק, מְשַׁלֵּם מַה שֶּׁהִזִּיק. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא אָמְרוּ כָל הַשִּׁעוּרִין הָאֵלּוּ, אֶלָּא שֶׁאִם הִזִּיק, פָּטוּר מִלְּשַׁלֵּם:
One should not put an oven inside of a house, unless there is a height of four cubits above it. If one puts it in an attic, one must put below it three handbreadths of mud plaster. With a stove, one handbreadth. If it causes damage, one pays for what was damaged. Rabbi Shimon says: All of these amounts were said only [to teach] that if it [nevertheless] caused damage, one is exempt from paying.
