מַקִּיפִין שְׁלֹשָׁה חֲבָלִים, זֶה לְמַעְלָה מִזֶּה וְזֶה לְמַעְלָה מִזֶּה, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא בֵּין חֶבֶל לַחֲבֵרוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים. שִׁעוּר חֲבָלִים וְעָבְיָן, יָתֵר עַל טֶפַח, כְּדֵי שֶׁיְּהֵא הַכֹּל עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים:
Pueden cercarlo [una caravana que acampó en un valle] alrededor con tres cuerdas [atadas a estacas]; el segundo sobre el primero, y el tercero sobre el segundo, siempre que entre la cuerda y la cuerda no haya tres tefachim. [Desde la cuerda inferior hasta el suelo hay menos de tres tefachim, por lo que es como un pie (partición). Para cualquier espacio inferior a tres (tefachim) se considera un sólido. Y de allí a la cuerda del medio hay menos de tres, haciendo un "pie" de seis tefachim menos dos pequeñas medidas para los dos espacios. Y de la mitad a la parte superior, menos de tres tefachim, haciendo nueve tefachim menos tres pequeñas medidas de "estar de pie" en los tres espacios.] El grosor (combinado) de las cuerdas debe ser [tres pequeñas medidas] más que un tefachim, para que todo sea diez tefachim.
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
And it was stated thus: “Two regular and the third even one hand-breadth is qualified.” Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Two of four hand-breadths each and the third even one hand-breadth is qualified. Rav Hoshaia asked, what if the one hand-breadth one is put in the middle? He came back and asked, if one of the four hand-breadths ones was put in the middle, how is it? Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa: Such a case came before Rebbi Yasa and he qualified it. And it was stated thus: “If a courtyard is enclosed by pillars, the pillars are like walls.” Does not a baraita disagree? If they are made according to the rules they are qualified, not according to the rules disqualified. They wanted to say, in the middle. Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac said, if these are not opposite those. Rav said, that one of one hand-breadth must be removed from the wall by one hand-breadth. Samuel said, even if it is arbitrarily close, one considers it as if distant. Rebbi Abba, Ḥinena bar Shelemiah, Rav Jeremiah in the name of Rav: even if it is arbitrarily close, one considers it as if distant. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said, Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, one follows this one, the other one the other. Cahana and Assi came and asked before Rav following that of Samuel. Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: Only if it is within three hand-breadths like a lathe.
