The roots of a tree belonging to a layman that extend into a sanctified area and roots of a sanctified tree that extend into a layman's area, one cannot derive benefit from them, but they are not subject to <i>meilah</i>. A spring that emanates [flows] from a sanctified field one cannot derive benefit from it, but it is not subject to <i>meilah</i>. If it flows outside the field then one can derive benefit from it. Water in the golden jugs [used for libations on Sukkot] one cannot derive benefit from it but it is not subject to <i>meilah</i>. If it was then placed in a jug [to be poured on the altar] it is subject to <i>meilah</i>. The willow branch [used in the Temple during Sukkot] one cannot derive benefit from it but it is not subject to <i>meilah</i>. Rabbi Elazer the son of Rabbi Tsadok says, the elders used to [benefit from it] and use it in their lulavim.
