Talmud su Deuteronomio 20:5

Rebbi Abin said, only if the roof is at least four [cubits] square. Just as a house does not induce ṭevel unless it is at least four [cubits] square, so the roof does not exempt unless it is at least four [cubits] square, as it is stated¹¹⁴A similar baraita in Babli Sukkah 3a/b.: A house less than four [cubits] square is free from the obligations of mezuzah¹¹⁵Deut. 6:9, 11:20. and the parapet¹¹⁶Deut. 22:8., from the obligation of eruv¹¹⁷If a courtyard belongs to a single owner except that a hut enclosing an area less that four cubits square belongs to another person, that courtyard may be used on the Sabbath by the majority owner without an eruv (cf. Demay 1, Notes 192–193)., does not induce ṭevel, is not counted as a connection to a town¹¹⁸On the Sabbath, one may not go outside one’s town more than 2000 cubits (cf. Peah 8, Note 56). Any house which is within 70 cubits of a house of the town is also counted as part of the town; the count of 2000 cubits starts only at the outermost house. A small building does not count as a house.; he who makes a vow not to be in a house may sit there; one does not give it four cubits before its entrance door¹¹⁹In a courtyard belonging to several owners, the four cubits in front of the entrance of each house are the private domain of this house, to be used to load and unload. This does not apply to a small hut.; it does not remain with the buyer in the Jubilee¹²⁰Lev. 25:30.; it cannot become impure by scale disease¹²¹Lev. 14:34 ff., and its owner does not return from the army because of it¹²²Deut. 20:5..

MISHNAH: “The policemen shall speak to the people, saying: Who is the man who built a new house and did not inaugurate it; he should go and return to his house,¹³¹Deut. 20:5. “Lest he should die in the war and another would inaugurate it.” He is recruited for auxiliary services (Mishnah 7). The policemen speak after the Cohen whose words were treated in the preceding Mishnaiot. It is not necessary that the original builder inaugurate his house; anybody in legal possession of a not inaugurated house is included.” etc. Not only he who builds a house, but also one who builds a barn, a cow-shed, a wood-shed, a storage facility. Not only he who builds, but also one who buys, or inherits, or who received as a gift.

Why does the verse say, “who built”¹⁴⁷Deut. 20:5. The quote is only to indicate the verse, not the reason for that deduction. The emphasis is on “who built a new house”. Cf. also Halakhah 7.? This excludes him whose house collapsed and he rebuilt it. (Rebbi Yose said, this implies that one who remarries his divorcee does not return.)¹⁴⁸This sentence is paralleled by a tannaïtic statement in Halakhah 6, Note 186. The person who had married a woman in preliminary marriage (cf. Demay 4:2, Note 19; Peah 6:2, Note 46; Yebamot 1:1, Note 63) but had not lived with her returns from the war if she is a new wife; i. e., not one previously married to him. One could think that somebody who builds a house outside the Land would return; the verse said, “and he did not inaugurate it,” meaning where there is an obligation of inauguration; this excludes cases where there is no obligation of inauguration¹⁴⁹It is inferred from here that a formal inauguration of a newly built house is a religious commandment in the Land.. If he received prepaid rent, it is as if he inaugurated it¹⁵⁰If the house was built not for the family of the builder but for rental purposes, receipt of the first rental payment is the inauguration, but only if the payment is made not later than the end of the usual rental period of 12 months.; if [the rent is payable] only after twelve months, it is as if he had not inaugurated it. If he locked it, if it contains valuables for which one usually stops working¹⁵¹If the value of the things stored is so high that either the owner has to be present to guard against thieves or he has to pay a watchman; that is use equivalent to living in the building., it is as if he inaugurated it; otherwise, it is as if he had not inaugurated it.
