Стопка соломы между двумя дворами, высотой десять тефахим —два эрувина сделаны а не один. Они едят форму здесь, а те едят оттуда. [т. е. они позволяют своим зверям есть солому и не должны бояться, чтобы стека не опустились до менее чем десяти тефахимов и не стали одним доменом, который они запрещают друг другу, и они продолжают нести во дворе, не зная о Это. Этого не стоит бояться, потому что даже если оно снизится, если сокращение не превышает десяти локтей, они не запрещают друг друга. Для десяти локтей вход (см. 7: 2), и зверь не потребляет так много в один Шаббат.] Если солома (стопка) опустилась ниже десяти тефахимов [по длине всего двора или более десяти локтей] делается один эрув, а не два [(если он спустился таким образом в течение недели, предшествующей субботе)].

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
אלו מאכילין – they place their cattle to eat from the straw, and we don’t suspect that perhaps the straw will be come less than ten [handbreadths] and that it would be one domain and they would be mutually prohibited [from eating] and would carry in the courtyard and not be aware of it, for this we do not suspect for even whether it would decrease or not, the minority is over the surface of ten cubits and more does not prohibit it, for ten cubits are an opening, and the cattle do not lessen it all that much in its eating [on one Sabbath].

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
If a heap of straw between two courtyards yards was ten handbreadths high, they make two eruvin but not one. Although we learned above in mishnah three that straw that was used to fill a ditch is not significant and that the ditch remains a partition between the two courtyards, here we learn that a heap of straw itself can serve as such a partition. This is because people sometimes do use heaps of straw in order to divide areas.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
These may feed [their cattle] from this side and these may feed from the other side. Just as it was permitted to eat the produce on top of the wall, so too cattle-owners on each side can allow their cattle to graze from either side of the straw heap.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
If the height of the straw heap was reduced to less than ten handbreadths, one eruv may be prepared but not two. If the heap of straw became less than ten handbreadths high, it ceases to serve as a partition, and then both courtyards must share an eruv.
