הָעוֹשֶׂה מָקוֹם לְקָנֶה, וּלְאִסְפָּתִי, וּלְנֵר, שִׁעוּרוֹ כָּל שֶׁהוּא, כְּדִבְרֵי בֵית שַׁמַּאי. בֵּית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, בְּפוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח. לָזוּן אֶת עֵינָיו, וּלְדַבֵּר עִם חֲבֵרוֹ, וּלְתַשְׁמִישׁ, בְּפוֹתֵחַ טָפַח:

One who makes a place for a rod or for a spike or a candle, its size is even a minute amount, say Beit Shammai, but Beit Hillel say it is a handbreadth's space. [If he wanted it] to satisfy his eyes, to talk to his friend, or to use, it must be a handbreadth's space.
