Commentaire sur Beitza 5:6
מִי שֶׁהָיוּ פֵרוֹתָיו בְּעִיר אַחֶרֶת, וְעֵרְבוּ בְנֵי אוֹתָהּ הָעִיר לְהָבִיא אֶצְלוֹ מִפֵּרוֹתָיו, לֹא יָבִיאוּ לוֹ. וְאִם עֵרַב הוּא, פֵּרוֹתָיו כָּמוֹהוּ:
Si quelqu'un a eu ses fruits dans une autre ville, et que les hommes de cette ville ont fait un érouv pour lui apporter une partie de ses fruits, ils ne peuvent pas en apporter, [puisqu'il n'avait pas fait d'érouv dans cette ville; car ses fruits sont comme lui (à cet égard)]. Et s'il avait fait un eruv (à cette ville), ses fruits lui ressemblent.
Bartenura on Mishnah Beitzah
לא יביאו לו – from his produce, for since he had not made an Eruv there, that his produce is like him.

This mishnah deals with a person whose produce is in another town and he wishes to retrieve it on Yom Tov.

English Explanation of Mishnah Beitzah
If one has his produce in another town, and the inhabitants of that city made an eruv in order to bring to him some of his produce, they may not bring it to him. In the case under discussion here the inhabitants of the other city made an eruv that would allow them to get to the city of the owner of the produce. Nevertheless, they may not bring him his produce because his produce is limited by where he can go and since he didn’t set up an eruv to get to the other city, it can’t come to him. Again, a person’s things are limited to going where he may go.

English Explanation of Mishnah Beitzah
But if he himself made an eruv, his produce is like himself. If the owner of the produce set up an eruv then he can go to the other city and bring his produce back with him. It is irrelevant whether the people of the other city set up an eruv since they are not the owners of the produce.
