הלכה: עַל דַּעְתֵּיהּ דְּרִבִּי יוּדָה בְּאֵר מָהוּ שֶׁתַּעֲלֶה מִמִּידַּת סְאָתַיִם. נִישְׁמְעִינָהּ מִן הָדָא. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר. בְּאֵר שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהּ מִידַּת סְאָתַיִם אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לְהַרְחִיק מִמֶּנָּה אֶלָּא מְלֹא רֹאשָׁהּ וְרוּבָּהּ שֶׁלְפָּרָה. הָדָא אָמְרָה שֶׁהַבְּאֵר עוֹלָה מִמִּידַּת סְאָתַיִם.

HALAKHAH: According to Rebbi Jehudah, is the well included in the measure of two [bet] se’ah67Who in Mishnah 3 restricts the area around the well to this size.? Let us hear from the following68Tosephta 1:13, Babli 22a.: If a well is two bet se’ah one may not go farther away than for the head and most of the body of a cow. This implies that the well is included in the measure of two [bet] se’ah.
