pools of

<<the land

<<they are called.

MISHNAH:

<<One who kindles

<<within

<<his own —

<<up to

<<how far

<<may cross

<<the fire?

<<Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya

<<says:

<<they view

<<it

<<as if

<<it is

<<in the middle of

<<a beis kor.

<<Rabbi Eliezer

<<says:

<<sixteen

<<cubits,

<<like the road of

<<the public domain.

<<Rabbi Akiva

<<says:

<<fifty

<<cubits.

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<“shall pay,

<<shall pay

<<the one who kindled

<<the fire” —

<<all

<<according to

<<the fire.

GEMARA:

<<And does not hold

<<Rabbi

<<Shimon

<<a measure

<<for fire?

But we learned:

<<may not

<<set up

<<a person

<<an oven

<<inside

<<the house,

<<unless

<<there is

<<above

<<it

<<a height

<<of four

<<cubits.

<<If he was

<<setting it up

<<in an upper story,

<<until

<<there is

<<beneath it

<<plaster

<<three

<<handbreadths;

<<and for a stove,

<<a handbreadth.

<<And if

<<it damaged,

<<he pays

<<what

<<it damaged.

Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<were not

<<stated

<<measures

<<these,

<<except

<<that if

<<it damaged,

<<he is exempt

<<from paying!

Rav Nachman said in the name of Rabbah bar Avuha:

<<all

<<according to

<<the height of

<<the fire.

Rav Yosef said in the name of Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel:

<<the halachah

<<is like Rabbi

<<Shimon.

<<And so

<<Rav Nachman said in the name of Shmuel:

<<the halachah

<<is like Rabbi

<<Shimon.

MISHNAH:

<<One who sets fire to

<<the stack,

<<and there were

<<in it

<<utensils

<<and they burned —

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<he pays

<<what

<<is inside it;

<<and the Sages

<<say:

<<he does not

<<pay

<<except for

<<a stack

<<of

<<wheat

<<or

<<of

<<barley.

If was

<<a kid

<<bound

<<to it,

<<and a slave

<<near

<<it,

<<and it was burned

<<with it —

<<he is liable.

<<A slave

<<bound

<<to it,

<<and a kid

<<near

<<it,

<<and it was burned

<<with it —

<<he is exempt.

And concede

<<the Sages

<<to Rabbi

<<Yehuda

<<with one who sets fire to

<<a mansion,

<<that he

<<pays

<<for all

<<that

<<is inside it;

<<for such

<<is the way of

<<people

<<to leave things

<<in houses.

GEMARA:

<<Rav Kahana said:

<<the dispute

<<is with one who kindles

<<within

<<his own

<<and it went

<<and consumed

<<within

<<that of

<<his fellow,

<<for Rabbi

<<Yehuda

<<holds liable

<<for damage to

<<hidden things

<<by fire,

<<and the Rabbis

<<exempt;

<<but

<<with one who kindles

<<within

<<that of

<<his fellow,

<<by the words of

<<all

<<he pays

<<for all

<<that

<<is inside it.

Rava said to him:

<<if so,

<<instead of teaching

<<the latter clause:

<<concede

<<the Sages

<<to Rabbi

<<Yehuda

<<with one who sets fire to

<<a mansion,

<<that he pays

<<for all

<<that

<<is inside it,

<<for such

<<is the way of

<<people

<<to leave things

<<in houses —

<<let it distinguish

<<and teach

<<in that very case:

<<in what case are these words said?

<<With one who kindles

<<within

<<his own,

<<and it went

<<and consumed

<<within

<<that of

<<his fellow;

<<but

<<one who kindles

<<within

<<that of

<<his fellow —

<<by the words of

<<all

<<he pays

<<for all

<<that

<<was

<<inside it!

Rather,

<<Rava said:

<<about two things

<<they disagree:

<<they disagree

<<with one who kindles

<<within

<<his own

<<and it went

<<and consumed

<<within

<<that of

<<his fellow,

<<for Rabbi

<<Yehuda

<<holds liable

<<for hidden things

<<by fire,

<<and the Rabbis

<<hold

<<he is not

<<liable.

<<And they disagree

<<also

<<with one who kindles

<<in that of

<<his fellow,

<<for Rabbi

<<Yehuda

<<holds:

<<he pays

<<for all

<<that

<<is inside it,

<<and even

<<a purse;

<<and the Rabbis

<<hold:

<<utensils

<<whose way it is

<<to be hidden

<<in a stack,

<<such as

<<threshing sledges

<<and the gear of

<<oxen —

<<it is

<<that he pays for;

<<utensils

<<whose way it is not

<<to be hidden

<<in a stack

<<he does not

<<pay for.

The Rabbis taught:

<<one who sets fire to

<<the stack,

<<and there were

<<in it

<<utensils

<<and they burned —

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<he pays

<<for all

<<that

<<was

<<inside it;

<<and the Sages

<<say:

<<he does not

<<pay

<<except for

<<a stack

<<of

<<wheat

<<or

<<a stack

<<of

<<barley.

<<And they view

<<the place of

<<the utensils

<<as if

<<it were

<<full of

<<grain.
