Ktoś, kto sprzedaje pole, sprzedał potrzebne do niego kamienie [tj. Do ogrodzenia go] i trzcinę w winnicy [do której przywiązane są winorośle], które są potrzebne do tego, oraz plony zakorzenione w ziemi, i przegroda trzcinowa [wiele trzcin wyrastających z jednej łodygi], mniejsza niż beth-rova, [w którym to przypadku jest "wchłaniana" na polu] i chata obserwatora [przymocowana do ziemi wapnem], która (sama) nie jest zrobiony z wapna i [młodego] nieszczepionego chleba świętojańskiego. [Albowiem kiedy dojrzeje, umacnia się i zostaje wszczepiony, i przybiera odrębną nazwę i nie jest „wchłonięty” przez pole.] I [młoda] dziewica jawor [zanim zostaną ścięte jego gałęzie. Kiedy bowiem dojrzeje, jego gałęzie są ścięte, a na ich miejscu wyrasta wiele, i nazywa się to „pniem jaworu”].

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Batra
If a man sold a field he has also sold the stones that are necessary to it, and the canes in a vineyard that are necessary to it, and its unreaped crop, and a partition of reed which covers less than a quarter-kav’s space of ground, and the watchman’s hut if it was fastened down with mortar, and ungrafted carob trees and young sycamores. This mishnah lists the things that are sold with a field. Tomorrow, in mishnah nine we will learn a long list of things that are not sold with a field. The list of things that are sold with a field includes things that are a necessary part of the maintenance of the field such as the stones used for fences and the canes used in a vineyard to grow the vines. It also includes the produce still attached to the ground and similarly the watchman’s hut if it was attached to the ground. [Note: there are other versions of this line concerning the watchman’s hut]. It also includes some small, as of yet insignificant trees as well as an insignificant portion of a reed partition. Since these things are not significant in and of themselves they become included as part of the field.
