הַנּוֹטֵעַ שְׁתַּיִם כְּנֶגֶד שְׁתַּיִם, וְאַחַת יוֹצְאָה זָנָב, הֲרֵי זֶה כֶרֶם. שְׁתַּיִם כְּנֶגֶד שְׁתַּיִם וְאַחַת בֵּינְתַיִם, אוֹ שְׁתַּיִם כְּנֶגֶד שְׁתַּיִם וְאַחַת בָּאֶמְצַע, אֵינוֹ כֶרֶם, עַד שֶׁיְּהוּ שְׁתַּיִם כְּנֶגֶד שְׁתַּיִם וְאַחַת יוֹצְאָה זָנָב:
Se una pianta due [viti] di fronte a due [viti] e una [vite] sporge come una coda, è [considerata] una vigna. [Se uno ha piantato] due [viti] di fronte a due [viti] e una [vite] tra [due delle viti], o due [viti] di fronte a due [viti], e una al centro, non è [considerata] un vigneto finché non ci sono due [viti] di fronte a due [viti] e una [vite] sporge come una coda.
