Quotation sobre Baba Batra 2:14

אִילָן שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֶה לִרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים, קוֹצֵץ, כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהֵא גָמָל עוֹבֵר וְרוֹכְבוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, גָּמָל טָעוּן פִּשְׁתָּן אוֹ חֲבִילֵי זְמוֹרוֹת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כָּל הָאִילָן כְּנֶגֶד הַמִּשְׁקֹלֶת, מִפְּנֵי הַטֻּמְאָה:

Si un árbol se proyecta en el dominio público, se corta [es decir, se cortan sus ramas inferiores] para que un camello y su jinete puedan pasar. R. Yehudah dice: Un camello cargado de lino o con manojos de varillas de vid. [Y no es necesario cortar para un camello y su jinete, ya que el jinete puede doblarse y pasar debajo de él.] R. Shimon dice: Cada árbol (debe cortarse) contra una plomada contra la impureza [es decir, para que no ramas "carpa" sobre el tamaño de un olivo de un cadáver o similar y hacen que el inmundo pase debajo de ellos. La halajá está de acuerdo con la primera tanna sola.]

Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra

MISHNAH: If a tree overhangs another’s field, he may cut it in the height of the plough’s ox-goad¹⁰⁴He may cut all overhanging branches of a fruit tree to the height of the ox-goad used with his plough.; carob tree and sycamore along the plumb line¹⁰⁵The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.. Over an irrigated field along the plumb line¹⁰⁵The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.. Abba Shaul says, every non-fruit-bearing tree along the plumb line¹⁰⁵The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line..
If a tree overhangs the public domain, one has to cut it so that a camel with a rider on it may pass; Rebbi Jehudah says, loaded with flax or bundles of vine cuttings¹⁰⁹They are very light and take up a large volume.. Rebbi Simeon says, any tree [must be cut] along the plumb line because of impurity^105,The owner of the field may cut these trees vertically at his property line.¹¹⁰R. Simeon essentially rejects the rabbis’ rule as following Gentile law (Corpus iuris, Decretum de arboribus caedendis requires that branches overhanging a public road must be cut up to a height of 15 Roman pedes, not quite 4.5 m.) He insists on a Jewish rationale. The impurity of the dead is transferred not only by touch but by being under one “tent” with a corpse. The crown of a tree forms such a “tent.” If the tree overhangs a road but grows inside a fence or wall which obstructs the view, a person passing under it could be inadvertentently become severely impure (cf. Nazir 7:3, Notes 163–164). Therefore, in the Land of Israel all overhangs have to be eliminated. He has no rules for other countries..
