- 1A Sukkah Must Not Be Less Than 7 x 7, containing 4 Seifim: A sukkah that is not at least 7 x 7 is invalid. Regarding the maximum, there is not a measurement above.
- 2If it is circular, it must contain within 1/4 circle, a measure of 7 x 7.
- 3If the sukkah is 7 x 7 and one places fitting garments in it and it reduces the size below the minimum, it is invalid.
- 4One whos head and most of his body is inside the sukkah, and his table is outside the sukkah and he eats as if it he cannot eat in the sukkah - even if it is a large sukkah, there is a gezeirah (against this) on case he might be pulled after his table.

שלא תהיה פחות מן שבעה על שבעה. ובו ד סעיפים:
סוכה שאין בה שבעה על שבעה פסולה ולענין גודל אין לה שיעור למעלה:
אם היא עגולה צריך שיהא בה כדי לרבע שבעה על שבעה:
יש בה ז' על ז' ונתן בה בגדים לנאותה וממעטים אותה משבעה על שבעה פסולה:
מי שהיה ראשו ורובו בסוכה ושולחנו חוץ לסוכה ואכל כאלו לא אכל בסוכה אפי' אם היא סוכה גדולה גזירה שמא ימשך אחר שלחנו:
