Halacha 1א׳

אֵין הַמּוֹצִיא מֵרְשׁוּת לִרְשׁוּת אוֹ הַמַּעֲבִיר בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים חוּץ לְאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת חַיָּב עַד שֶׁיַּעֲקֹר חֵפֶץ מֵעַל גַּבֵּי מָקוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים עַל אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים אוֹ יָתֵר וְיַנִּיחַ עַל גַּבֵּי מָקוֹם שֶׁיֵּשׁ בּוֹ אַרְבָּעָה עַל אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים:

One who carries from one domain to another, or carries four ells in a public domain, is not liable until he picks up an object from upon a space of four by four handbreadths or more, and places it on a space of four by four handbreadths.

Halacha 2ב׳

יָדוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם חֲשׁוּבָה לוֹ כְּאַרְבָּעָה עַל אַרְבָּעָה. לְפִיכָךְ אִם עָקַר הַחֵפֶץ מִיַּד אָדָם הָעוֹמֵד בִּרְשׁוּת זוֹ וְהִנִּיחוֹ בְּיַד אָדָם אַחֵר הָעוֹמֵד בִּרְשׁוּת שְׁנִיָּה חַיָּב. וְכֵן אִם הָיָה עוֹמֵד בְּאַחַת מִשְּׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת אֵלּוּ וּפָשַׁט יָדוֹ לִרְשׁוּת שְׁנִיָּה וְעָקַר הַחֵפֶץ מִמֶּנָּה אוֹ מִיַּד אָדָם הָעוֹמֵד בָּהּ וְהֶחֱזִיר יָדוֹ אֵלָיו חַיָּב. וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא הִנִּיחַ הַחֵפֶץ בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא עוֹמֵד בּוֹ הוֹאִיל וְהוּא בְּיָדוֹ הֲרֵי הוּא כְּמֻנָּח בָּאָרֶץ:

The hand of a person is considered like four by four [handbreadths]. Hence, if one picks up an object from the hand of someone standing in this domain and places it in the hand of someone else standing in a different domain, he is liable. Likewise, if he was standing in one of these two domains and he extended his hand into the second domain and picked up an object from it or from the hand of a person standing in it and [then] brought back his hand towards him, he is liable. And even though he did not place the object in the place in which he is standing; since it is in his hand, it is surely as if it were resting on the ground.

Halacha 3ג׳

הָיָה אוֹכֵל וְיוֹצֵא מֵרְשׁוּת לִרְשׁוּת וְחִשֵּׁב לְהוֹצִיא הָאוֹכֵל שֶׁבְּפִיו מֵרְשׁוּת לִרְשׁוּת חַיָּב. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמַּחֲשַׁבְתּוֹ מְשִׂימָה פִּיו מְקוֹם אַרְבָּעָה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא הוֹצִיא כְּדֶרֶךְ הַמּוֹצִיאִין. וְכֵן מִי שֶׁהָיָה עוֹמֵד בְּאַחַת מִשְּׁתֵּי רְשׁוּיוֹת אֵלּוּ וְהִשְׁתִּין מַיִם אוֹ רָקַק בִּרְשׁוּת שְׁנִיָּה חַיָּב שֶׁהֲרֵי עָקַר מֵרְשׁוּת זוֹ וְהִנִּיחַ בִּרְשׁוּת שְׁנִיָּה וּמַחֲשַׁבְתּוֹ עוֹשָׂה אוֹתוֹ כְּאִלּוּ עָקַר מֵעַל גַּבֵּי מְקוֹם אַרְבָּעָה. הָיָה עוֹמֵד בִּרְשׁוּת זוֹ וּפִי אַמָּה בִּרְשׁוּת שְׁנִיָּה וְהִשְׁתִּין בָּהּ פָּטוּר:

[In the case of] one who was eating and went out from one domain to another and had in mind to carry the food from one domain to [another] in his mouth, he is liable. For his thought makes his mouth into a place of four [handbreadths], even though he did not carry in the way of those that carry. Likewise, one who was standing in one of these two domains and urinated or spit into the second domain is liable. For he surely picked [it] up in this domain and put it down in the other domain; and his thought makes it as if he picked up from upon a space of four [handbreadths]. If he was standing in this domain but the tip of [his] penis was in the other domain when he urinated in it, he is exempt.
