Se’if 1א׳

מִי שֶׁנִּתְכַּוֵּן לִקְבֹּעַ שְׁבִיתָתוֹ בְּמָקוֹם יָדוּעַ אֶצְלוֹ, וְהֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהָלַךְ כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם וְיִקְנֶה בּוֹ שְׁבִיתָה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא הִגִּיעַ וְלֹא עָמַד שָׁם אֶלָּא הֶחֱזִירוֹ חֲבֵרוֹ לָלוּן אֶצְלוֹ אוֹ שֶׁחָזַר מֵעַצְמוֹ לָלוּן אֶצְלוֹ אוֹ שֶׁנִּתְעַכֵּב, יֵשׁ לוֹ לְהַלֵּךְ לְמָחָר עַד מָקוֹם שֶׁנִּתְכַּוֵּן לוֹ וּמֵאוֹתוֹ הַמָּקוֹם אַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ; שֶׁכֵּיוָן שֶׁגָּמַר בְּלִבּוֹ לִקְבֹּעַ שָׁם שְׁבִיתָתוֹ וְהֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ, נַעֲשָׂה כְּמִי שֶׁעָמַד שָׁם אוֹ שֶׁהִנִּיחַ עֵרוּבוֹ שָׁם. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּעָנִי, שֶׁאֵין מַטְרִיחִין אוֹתוֹ לְהַנִּיחַ עֵרוּב, אוֹ בְּרִחוּק כְּגוֹן שֶׁהָיָה בָּא בַּדֶּרֶךְ; אֲבָל אִם לֹא הָיָה עָנִי וְלֹא רָחוֹק, לֹא.

Laws of one who sets out on the road to acquire Shabbat rest. Contains 3 sections One who intended to establish his Shabbat rest at a place known to him and set out on the road walking toward that place in order to reach it and acquire Shabbat rest there — even if he did not arrive and did not stand there, but his fellow turned him back to sleep, or he himself turned back to sleep by him, or he was delayed — he may walk the next day to the place he intended, and from that place two thousand cubits in each direction. Since he resolved in his mind to establish his Shabbat rest there and set out on the road, he is considered as if he had stood there or placed his eruv there. This applies to a poor person whom we do not trouble to place an eruv, or to one who was far away such as a traveler. But if he was neither poor nor far away — no.

Se’if 2ב׳

זֶה שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ שֶׁהַקּוֹנֶה שְׁבִיתָה בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם שֶׁיַּחֲזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ, לֹא שֶׁיֵּצֵא וְיֵלֵךְ בַּשָּׂדֶה, אֶלָּא אֲפִלּוּ יָרַד מִן הָעֲלִיָּה לֵילֵךְ לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם קֹדֶם שֶׁיָּצָא מִפֶּתַח הֶחָצֵר הֶחֱזִירוֹ חֲבֵרוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה הֶחֱזִיק וְקָנָה שְׁבִיתָה. וְכָל הַקּוֹנֶה שְׁבִיתָה בְּרִחוּק מָקוֹם אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר: שְׁבִיתָתִי בְּמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, אֶלָּא כֵּיוָן שֶׁגָּמַר בְּלִבּוֹ וְהֶחֱזִיק בְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל שֶׁהוּא, קָנָה שָׁם שְׁבִיתָה. וְאֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר מִי שֶׁיָּצָא בְּרַגְלָיו וְעָמַד בַּמָּקוֹם שֶׁקּוֹנֶה בּוֹ שְׁבִיתָה שֶׁאֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר כְּלוּם, אֶלָּא כֵּיוָן שֶׁגָּמַר בְּלִבּוֹ, קָנָה.

What we said about one who acquires Shabbat rest at a distant place by setting out on the road — he need not go out and walk into a field; even if he descended from an upper story to go to that place and before he left the courtyard gate his fellow turned him back — he has set out and acquired Shabbat rest. And anyone who acquires Shabbat rest at a distant place need not say "my Shabbat rest is in such-and-such place" — once he resolved in his mind and set out on the road even a little he has acquired Shabbat rest there. Needless to say, one who went on foot and stood at the place where he acquires Shabbat rest need not say anything at all — once he resolved in his mind he has acquired.

Se’if 3ג׳

אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר שֶׁשָּׁלְחוּ אֶחָד מֵהֶם לְהוֹלִיךְ לָהֶם עֵרוּבָם לְמָקוֹם יָדוּעַ וְהֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְהֶחֱזִירוֹ חֲבֵרוֹ וְלֹא הוֹלִיךְ עֵרוּבָם, הֵם לֹא קָנוּ שְׁבִיתָה בְּאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא הוּנַח שָׁם עֵרוּבָם, וְאֵין לָהֶם לְהַלֵּךְ בִּמְדִינָתָם אֶלָּא אַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ. וְהוּא קָנָה שָׁם עֵרוּב, שֶׁהֲרֵי הוּא בָּא בַּדֶּרֶךְ וְנִתְכַּוֵּן לִשְׁבֹּת שָׁם וְהֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ. לְפִיכָךְ יֵשׁ לוֹ לֵילֵךְ לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם לְמָחָר וְלֵילֵךְ מִמֶּנּוּ אַלְפַּיִם אַמָּה לְכָל רוּחַ.

Townspeople who sent one of their number to bring their eruv to a known place, and he set out on the road and his fellow turned him back and he did not bring their eruv — they have not acquired Shabbat rest at that place since their eruv was not placed there, and they may only walk two thousand cubits in each direction within their town. But he has acquired Shabbat rest there, since he was traveling and intended to rest there and set out on the road. Therefore he may walk to that place the next day and walk from it two thousand cubits in each direction.
