אמר לך רב אנא דאמרי אפי' לרבי אליעזר עד כאן לא קאמר רבי אליעזר התם המבטל רשות חצירו רשות ביתו ביטל משום דבבית בלא חצר לא דיירי אינשי אבל לענין איסתלוקי מי אמר

Rab holding the same opinion as the Rabbis<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who laid down (v. Mishnah infra 69b and its explanation in the Gemara following it) that if one of the tenants forgot to contribute his share to the 'erub of his neighbour's in a courtyard, but on the Sabbath renounced his right to share in the courtyard in their favour, it is forbidden both to him and to them to carry any objects from his house into the courtyard or from the courtyard into his house; from which it is evident that, though a man renounced his right in a courtyard, he is not ipso facto assumed to have renounced his right to his house also. Thus it follows that a tenant's renunciation is not regarded as his complete elimination; that he is still a legitimate tenant of the same courtyard; and that, in agreement with Rab, the other tenants may renounce in his favour the rights he previously renounced in their favour.');">²²</span> while Samuel holds the same opinion as R'Eliezer?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who ruled (cf. supra 26b) that he who renounces his rights to his courtyard renounces ipso facto his rights to his house also; from which it follows that a tenant's renunciation is regarded as his complete elimination from his courtyard, that he assumes in consequence the status of a tenant of a different courtyard; and that, in agreement with the view of Samuel, the other tenants may not renounce in his favour the rights he previously conceded to them.');">²³</span> Rab can answer you: I may uphold my ruling even in accordance with the view of R'Eliezer; for it was only there that R'Eliezer maintained his ruling that the man who renounces his right to his courtyard renounces ipso facto his right to his house also, because people do not live in a house that has no courtyard, but did he<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' R.
