Core Text
נוֹתְנִין קַרְפֵּף לָעִיר, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: לֹא אָמְרוּ קַרְפֵּף אֶלָּא בֵּין שְׁתֵּי עֲיָירוֹת. וְאִיתְּמַר, רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: קַרְפֵּף לָזוֹ וְקַרְפֵּף לָזוֹ. וְחִיָּיא בַּר רַב אָמַר: אֵין נוֹתְנִין אֶלָּא קַרְפֵּף אֶחָד לִשְׁנֵיהֶם! צְרִיכָא, דְּאִי אַשְׁמְעִינַן הָכָא — מִשּׁוּם דַּהֲוָה לֵיהּ צַד הֶיתֵּר מֵעִיקָּרָא. אֲבָל הָתָם, אֵימָא לָא.

Type of Learning

Custom (An aggadic comparison that uses the language of the verse to characterize a transient, unsettled way of life.)

What Is Learned

People who live in temporary booths (or tents), constantly moving with their flocks, lack the stability of settled community life. Chazal therefore liken them to dwellers of graves — exposed to the elements and cut off from the settled patterns of Torah and civic life.
