מִי שֶׁזִּמֵּן אֶצְלוֹ אוֹרְחִים, לֹא יוֹלִיכוּ בְיָדָם מָנוֹת, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן זִכָּה לָהֶם מָנוֹתֵיהֶם מֵעֶרֶב יוֹם טוֹב. אֵין מַשְׁקִין וְשׁוֹחֲטִין אֶת הַמִּדְבָּרִיּוֹת, אֲבָל מַשְׁקִין וְשׁוֹחֲטִין אֶת הַבַּיָתוֹת. אֵלּוּ הֵן בַּיָתוֹת, הַלָּנוֹת בָּעִיר. מִדְבָּרִיּוֹת, הַלָּנוֹת בָּאֲפָר:

If one invited guests [from a different city to come to him via an eruv] they may not take portions [after the meal to their house], unless he bequeathed them their portions [through another] on yom tov eve. [The host gives the portions to another through meshichah ("drawing forth") on yom tov eve and says to him: "Acquire these portions on behalf of such and such." For benefit may be bestowed upon a man in his absence.] Wilderness beasts may not be watered and slaughtered (on yom tov); but home beasts may be watered and slaughtered. Which are "home beasts"? Those which spend the night in the city. Which are "wilderness beasts." Those which spend the night in the meadow.
