Talmud for Kilayim 5:2
כֶּרֶם שֶׁהוּא נָטוּעַ עַל פָּחוֹת פָּחוֹת מֵאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אֵינוֹ כֶרֶם. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כֶּרֶם, וְרוֹאִין אֶת הָאֶמְצָעִיּוֹת כְּאִלּוּ אֵינָן:
A vineyard that has been planted with less than four cubits [between each row], Rabbi Shimon says it is not a vineyard [because they are too close], and the Sages say [it is a] vineyard and we regard the middle ones as if they are not there [the outermost rows combine to the two opposite two rule].
Jerusalem Talmud Nazir
There135Mishnah Baba batra 6:8, detailing the standards for a builder of burial caves., we have stated: “He makes a courtyard136A flat space outside the cave. in front of the cave six cubits square as a place for the bier.” And here, he says so137Why does the contractor only have to build a space of six cubits square for burial in a cave whereas for burial in the ground one reserves eight cubits on either side? It is to be expected that the minimal standards for a commercial contract are less than those for checking for impurity.? There for a bier standing, here for the width of a turning bier. How far138This has nothing to do with either commercial contracts or impurity; it defines the persons participating in a funeral and exempt from any other duties while the funeral procession is in progress; Mishnah Berakhot 3:1.? For the carriers of the bier, their replacements, and the replacements of their replacements.
