הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, וְהִיא בֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין אוֹ בֵית הָאִילָן, יָבַשׁ הַמַּעְיָן וְנִקְצַץ הָאִילָן, אֵינוֹ מְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן חֲכוֹרוֹ. אִם אָמַר לוֹ חֲכֹר לִי שְׂדֵה בֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין זֶה אוֹ שְׂדֵה בֵית הָאִילָן זֶה, יָבַשׁ הַמַּעְיָן וְנִקְצַץ הָאִילָן, מְנַכֶּה לוֹ מִן חֲכוֹרוֹ:

If one received a field from his neighbor, and it were beth hashlachin [dry land, lacking sufficient rain (and, therefore, irrigated)] or a tree-field, [and "beloved" of the tenant-farmer by virtue of the tree, being enabled to share in the fruits without exertion] — If the well [from which the field were irrigated] dried up, or the tree were cut, this does not reduce his rental [if he received the field on rental, so many and so many korin a year; for in the beginning he did not indicate that he was adding to the rental because of the well or the field.] If he (the renter) said to him (the owner): Rent me this beth hashlachin field, or this tree-field — If the well dried up or the tree were cut, his rental is reduced, [the renter having indicated that he was adding to the rental because of the well].
