Halacha 1א׳

עוֹמֵד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וּמְטַלְטֵל בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד כֻּלָּהּ. וְעוֹמֵד בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וּמִטַּלְטֵל בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יוֹצִיא חוּץ לְאַרְבָּעָה אַמּוֹת. וְאִם הוֹצִיא פָּטוּר מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא בִּרְשׁוּת אַחֶרֶת. וְכֵן עוֹמֵד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וּפוֹתֵחַ בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וּפוֹתֵחַ בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד. בְּהֵמָה שֶׁהָיְתָה רֻבָּהּ בַּחוּץ וְרֹאשָׁהּ בִּפְנִים אוֹבְסִין אוֹתָהּ. וּבְגָמָל עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא רֹאשׁוֹ וְרֻבּוֹ בִּפְנִים הוֹאִיל וְצַוָּארוֹ אָרֹךְ:

1 [In the case of] one standing in a public domain, he may carry within the entire [adjacent] private domain. And [if] he is standing in the private domain, he may carry within the public domain so long as he does not move it more than four ells. But if he does move it further, he is exempt - as he is standing in a different domain. Likewise, one standing in a private domain, may open [a lock] in a public domain; in a public domain, may open [a lock] in a private domain. We may force a beast, that is mostly outside but its head is inside, to eat from the trough. But not a camel, until its head and most of it is inside - since it has a long neck.

Halacha 2ב׳

לֹא יַעֲמֹד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד וְיִשְׁתֶּה בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים. בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְיִשְׁתֶּה בִּרְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד. אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הִכְנִיס רֹאשׁוֹ וְרֻבּוֹ לְמָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא שׁוֹתֶה. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים כְּשֶׁהָיָה שׁוֹתֶה בְּכֵלִים נָאִים שֶׁהוּא צָרִיךְ לָהֶן. גְּזֵרָה שֶׁמָּא יוֹצִיאֵם. אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ כֵּלִים שֶׁאֵינָן נָאִים שֶׁאֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לָהֶן. אוֹ שֶׁהָיָה הַבּוֹר בְּכַרְמְלִית אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהַכֵּלִים נָאִים. מַכְנִיס רֹאשׁוֹ בִּלְבַד וְשׁוֹתֶה בִּמְקוֹמוֹ וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא הִכְנִיס רֹאשׁוֹ וְרֻבּוֹ:

2 One should not stand in a private domain and drink in a public domain; in a public domain and drink in a private domain - unless he brings his head and most of himself into the [domain] in which he is drinking. To what are these words applicable? When he drinks with fine vessels which he needs. [It is] a decree lest he take them out. But if the vessels were not fine, such that he does not need them; or the well was in a karmelit - even if the vessels were fine - he may bring only his head in there and drink where he is. [He may do so,] even though he has not put his head and most of himself there.

Halacha 3ג׳

עוֹמֵד אָדָם בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וְקוֹלֵט מִן הָאֲוִיר מִן הַמַּיִם הַמְקַלְּחִין מִן הַצִּנּוֹר אוֹ מִן הַכֹּתֶל וְשׁוֹתֶה. וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יִגַּע בַּצִּנּוֹר אוֹ בַּכֹּתֶל וְיִקְלֹט מֵעַל גַּבָּן. וְאִם נָגַע אִם הָיָה מָקוֹם שֶׁנָּגַע בּוֹ לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה בְּפָחוֹת מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה סָמוּךְ לַגַּג הֲרֵי זֶה אָסוּר. שֶׁנִּמְצָא כְּעוֹקֵר מֵעַל הַגַּג שֶׁהוּא רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד. וְכֵן אִם הָיָה בַּצִּנּוֹר אַרְבָּעָה עַל אַרְבָּעָה בֵּין שֶׁהָיָה הַצִּנּוֹר בְּתוֹךְ עֲשָׂרָה בֵּין שֶׁהָיָה לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה וְקָלַט מִמֶּנּוּ מַיִם הֲרֵי זֶה אָסוּר. וְלָמָּה אֵינוֹ חַיָּב מִפְּנֵי שֶׁלֹּא נָחוּ הַמַּיִם אֶלָּא הֲרֵי הֵן נִזְחָלִין וְהוֹלְכִין:

3 [In the case of] a man standing in a public domain, he may collect water that is flowing from a gutter or from a wall in the air, so long as he does not touch the pipe or the wall and take in [the water] on top of them. But if he did touch [them], if the place that he touched was above ten [handbreadths and] less than three [handbreadths] from the roof, it is surely forbidden - as it comes out that he is removing [it] from the roof which is a private domain. Likewise if there were four [handbreadths] by four [handbreadths] in the gutter - whether the gutter was within ten [handbreadths] or above ten [handbreadths] - and he took in water from it, it is surely forbidden. And why is he not liable? Because the water did not rest [before he took it], but is continually flowing.
