Sheviis 3:3 - 3:4

יתר מכאן – from three [dung-heaps] it is permitted, which is Rabbi Shimon’s [opinion] in the opening clause, and not it comes to inform us that Rabbi Shimon permits it, even if there aren’t ten wicker baskets, as long as there will not be in it less than three, and even though there is a little manure in the dung-heap, and you might think that I would say that Rabbi Shimon admits that if he adds dung-heaps, it appears like manuring, it comes to tell us that it does not appear like manuring since he does not disperse it.

עד שיעמיק שלשה – that he will deepening the place of the manure or raise it up from the rest of the land b three handbreadths, so that it will be recognized that he is doing this in order to bring in the manure into one place, and not to manure the field.

עושה אדם את זבלו אוצר – those three dung-heaps of thirty wicker backets, he can make of them one dung-heap and can add to them as he wishes, and that is not to say that just as it is forbidden to have more than three dung-heaps for a Bet Seah (i.e., fifty cubits by fifty cubits), that is also forbidden to have more than the measurement of three dung-heaps in one place.

ר"מ אוסר – in the Jerusalem Talmud it is found that Rabbi Meir forbade more than the measurement alone, but with the merasurement, now that there are three places, it is it is permitted in one place, is it not obvious? But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.

היה לו דבר מועט – he doesn’t have to remove at one time according to the explained measurement of above, but removes a bit of it an/or adds to it and continues.

ר"א בן עזריה אוסר – lest he will not have more manure and it appears like he is manuring his field until he removes ten wicker baskets at once, or,

עד שיעמיק ג' או יגביה ג' – for since he same place is different from the rest of the field, it does not appear like manuring, and similarly, if he placed it on a rocky place which is not appropriate for sowing.

המדיר את שדהו (let cattle changes folds within a field/collect mnaure in a field, by letting cattle live on it) – it is the language of a shed for cattle , and he has no free place to place his cattle other than there, and he doesn’t intend to manure his field in this manner and it is intention to bring in the manure to dung-heaps afterwards.

סהר (enclosure for cattle near a dwelling/stable) – like an enclosure, a circumference of a partition around the sheep.

עוקר ג' רוחות – when the enclosure for cattle is filled with manure, he ruproots from the enclosure from three sides and restores on the [other] side of them middle and changes folds there like that for two Bet Seah, and makes dung-heaps within his field , three dung-heaps for a Bet Seah as we have stated.

נמצא מדייר בית ארבעה סתים – Two Seah from this side of the middle partition and two from the [other] side, and our Mishnah teaches us that it permits a cattle fold of four Seah prior to his making from it dung-heaps, but not more than that, so that they should not say that he intended to make folds in his fields [for cattle to live in them].

מפני מראית העין – so that it would not appear like he intends to manure his field if he makes all of it an enclosure for cattle.

כדרך המזבלין – three dung-heaps for each Bet Seah, but the Halakha is not according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel.
