הַמְשַׁלְשֵׁל דְּפָנוֹת מִלְמַעְלָה לְמַטָּה, אִם גָּבוֹהַּ מִן הָאָרֶץ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים, פְּסוּלָה. מִלְּמַטָּה לְמַעְלָה, אִם גָּבוֹהַּ מִן הָאָרֶץ עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, כְּשֵׁרָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, כְּשֵׁם שֶׁמִּלְּמַטָּה לְמַעְלָה עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, כָּךְ מִלְמַעְלָה לְמַטָּה עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים. הִרְחִיק אֶת הַסִּכּוּךְ מִן הַדְּפָנוֹת שְׁלשָׁה טְפָחִים, פְּסוּלָה:

If one lowers walls from above to below, [i.e., If he began to weave the walls close to the schach and continued weaving them downwards] — If it (the wall) is three handbreadths higher than the ground, it is pasul. [For a goat can then jump in at one bound and it (the lowered wall) is not considered a partition.] From below to above — If it is ten handbreadths higher than the ground, it is kasher [even if it does not reach the schach and is considerably removed from it.] R. Yossi says: Just as ten tefachim [of weaving] suffices from bottom to top, so it suffices from top to bottom, [even if it is well above the ground, R. Yossi holding that a suspended partition validates (the succah). The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yossi.] If he removes the schach three handbreadths from the walls, it is pasul. [This does not refer to (removal from) the top, but to the width; i.e., if he left space between the wall and the schach along the length or breadth of the succah.]
