When a tongue (lashon) of the sea enters a yard through a breach, and the breach is less than 10 tefachim wide and not the full width of the wall, may one draw water and bring it into the house?
Synopsis
If a tongue of the sea enters a yard through a breach under 10 tefachim that does not span the full wall, it is treated like a cistern within the yard, and the yard's partitions are effective — one may draw water and bring it into the house.
