Kamu harus mengukur di luar kota: sisi timur dua ribu hasta, sisi selatan dua ribu hasta, sisi barat dua ribu hasta, dan sisi utara dua ribu hasta, dengan kota itu berada di tengah-tengahnya. Itulah yang akan menjadi tanah lapang kota-kota mereka.
Mishnah Eruvin
If he does not recognize [any tree or fence], or if he is not familiar with the halakhah, and said, “Let my present position be my Shabbat place”, his position acquires for him the right of movement two thousand cubits in any direction.

Mishnah Nedarim
One who vows abstinence from a bed is permitted a couch, the words of Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say: A couch is included in “bed”. If he vows abstinence from a couch, he is permitted the use of a bed. One who vows not to benefit from a town, may enter the town’s [Shabbat] border but may not enter its outskirts. But one who vows not to benefit from a house, is forbidden [only] from the door-stop and inwards.
