שבת דף פה עמוד א

¹רש"י מסכת שבת דף פד עמוד ב ובגמרא מפרש היכי משמע חמשה זרעונים בששה טפחים from this pasuk and "זרועיה"

²How do the know the detailsof themeasurements of the verse doesn't state them specifically?

³Don['t count the tefah walkway in the 6x6 or there will only be 2 tefachim between the center seed and the border plants

⁴How big must the boarders of an aruga be to qualify as an official planting area (fot the rules to be descibed in page 85b)?

⁵But the mishna didn't take into account surrounding plantations. (Which apparently are not plantable in this way)

⁶Not true, objects the gemara. If the boarders are only planted to half their lengths, there is a diaganol of > 2 tefahim between the seeds on the border of one plantations and the seeds on the border of the opposite boader of another plantation.

⁷Maybe, but Rav understands the mishna talking about fully panted boarders. So his question remains.

⁸Why can't the mishna be referring to A) there are no surrounding fields, and B) when there are surroundeing fields, the corners should be left empty

⁹What's wrong with filling up the borders. It's only a stray penatration that we're worried about, an that is mutar

¹⁰Shmuel disagrees with Rav's "lonely plantation" theory.

¹¹So don't fill in all of the border, and stagger them. And the Gezeira "maybe the corners will get filled..." is rejected.

¹²Rav Assi is probably Rav Ashi of the next question. So Rashi

¹³"הכא" must mean, unusually, the external mishna.

¹⁴So how could you say "כל מה שירצה"?

¹⁵If the circle are N-S, make the borders E-W; or vice versa
