Mishnah 1א׳

יְצִיאוֹת הַשַּׁבָּת שְׁתַּיִם שֶׁהֵן אַרְבַּע בִּפְנִים, וּשְׁתַּיִם שֶׁהֵן אַרְבַּע בַּחוּץ. כֵּיצַד. הֶעָנִי עוֹמֵד בַּחוּץ וּבַעַל הַבַּיִת בִּפְנִים, פָּשַׁט הֶעָנִי אֶת יָדוֹ לִפְנִים וְנָתַן לְתוֹךְ יָדוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת, אוֹ שֶׁנָּטַל מִתּוֹכָהּ וְהוֹצִיא, הֶעָנִי חַיָּב וּבַעַל הַבַּיִת פָּטוּר. פָּשַׁט בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אֶת יָדוֹ לַחוּץ וְנָתַן לְתוֹךְ יָדוֹ שֶׁל עָנִי, אוֹ שֶׁנָּטַל מִתּוֹכָהּ וְהִכְנִיס, בַּעַל הַבַּיִת חַיָּב וְהֶעָנִי פָּטוּר. פָּשַׁט הֶעָנִי אֶת יָדוֹ לִפְנִים וְנָטַל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת מִתּוֹכָהּ, אוֹ שֶׁנָּתַן לְתוֹכָהּ וְהוֹצִיא, שְׁנֵיהֶם פְּטוּרִין. פָּשַׁט בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אֶת יָדוֹ לַחוּץ וְנָטַל הֶעָנִי מִתּוֹכָהּ, אוֹ שֶׁנָּתַן לְתוֹכָהּ וְהִכְנִיס, שְׁנֵיהֶם פְּטוּרִין:

The 'goings out' of Shabbat [The Jewish Sabbath] [i.e.: the number of ways in which one is forbidden to carry items on Shabbat] are two, which are four, within, and two, which are four, without. [That is, there are two ways in which such means of carrying are biblically forbidden, and therefore liable for a sin offering, and two in which they are rabbinically forbidden, and therefore not liable for a sin offering.] How is this so? The poor man stands outside and the homeowner is inside. If the poor man extends his hand into [the house] and places something in the hand of the homeowner, or takes something from his hand and withdraws, the poor man is liable [to bring a sin offering] but the homeowner is exempt. If the homeowner extends his hand outside and places something into the hand of the poor man, or takes something from his hand and brings it in, the homeowner is liable and the poor man is exempt. [But] if the poor man extends his hand within [the house] and the homeowner takes something from it, or places something within it and [the poor man] withdraws, they are both [forbidden from doing so, but] exempt [from bringing a sin offering]. If the homeowner extends his hand outside and the poor man takes something from it, or places something into it and [the homeowner] brings it in, they are [forbidden from doing so but are] exempt.

Mishnah 2ב׳

לֹא יֵשֵׁב אָדָם לִפְנֵי הַסַּפָּר סָמוּךְ לַמִּנְחָה, עַד שֶׁיִּתְפַּלֵּל. לֹא יִכָּנֵס אָדָם לַמֶּרְחָץ וְלֹא לַבֻּרְסְקִי וְלֹא לֶאֱכֹל וְלֹא לָדִין. וְאִם הִתְחִילוּ, אֵין מַפְסִיקִין. מַפְסִיקִים לִקְרוֹת קְרִיאַת שְׁמַע, וְאֵין מַפְסִיקִים לַתְּפִלָּה:

A man may not sit before the barber close to mincha [on a weekday] until he has prayed, nor may he enter a bathhouse or a tanner, nor eating or pass judgment. If he begins [any of these things], he need not interrupt them. He does interrupt them for the recitation of Shema', but need not interrupt them for prayer.
