**הוֹצִיאוּהָ לִסְטִים.** אַף עַל גַּב דְּלֹא הוֹצִיאוּהָ מַמָּשׁ אֶלָּא שֶׁעָמְדוּ בְּפָנֶיהָ עַד שֶׁיָּצְאָה, הָוֵי כְּאִלּוּ הוֹצִיאוּהָ בְּיָדַיִם וְחַיָּבִים:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הוציאוה לסטים – even though he did not actually take it out, but rather that they stood before it until she left – it is as if they removed it with their hands and they are liable.

**הִנִּיחָהּ בַּחַמָּה.** מְצַעֲרָה לַהּ שִׁמְשָׁא וְלֹא סַגִּי לַהּ בִּנְעִילָה כָּרָאוּי שֶׁהִיא בְּדֶלֶת שֶׁיְּכוֹלָה לַעֲמֹד בְּרוּחַ מְצוּיָה בִּלְבַד:

**נָפְלָה לְגִנָּה.** וּכְגוֹן שֶׁהֻחְלְקָה וְנָפְלָה בְּאֹנֶס. אֲבָל דָּחוּ אוֹתָהּ חַבְרוֹתֶיהָ וְהִפִּילוּהָ, מְשַׁלֵּם מַה שֶּׁהִזִּיקָה, דְּאִיהוּ פָּשַׁע בָּהּ, דַּהֲוֵי לֵיהּ לַעֲבְרִינְהוּ חֲדָא חֲדָא:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
נפלה לגינה – as in the case when she slipped and fell in by accident. But if her “friends” pushed her and caused her to abort [her fetus] he (i.e., the owner) pays what she damaged for she was negligent in it and he should have passed through one at a time.

מה שנהנית – according to her pleasure and not according to her damage.

**שָׁמִין בֵּית סְאָה בְּאוֹתָהּ שָׂדֶה.** אֵין שָׁמִין אֶת הָעֲרוּגָה לְבַדָּהּ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמַּפְסִיד מַזִּיק, שֶׁשָּׁמִין אוֹתָהּ בְּכָל שָׁוְיָהּ, וְרַחְמָנָא אָמַר וּבִעֵר בִּשְׂדֵה אַחֵר, וְדָרְשִׁינַן מְלַמֵּד שֶׁשָּׁמִין אוֹתָהּ עַל גַּב שָׂדֶה אַחֶרֶת. אֶלָּא שֶׁשָּׁמִין בֵּית סְאָה בְּאוֹתָהּ שָׂדֶה כַּמָּה הָיְתָה שָׁוָה קֹדֶם שֶׁנֶּאֶכְלָה מִמֶּנָּה הָעֲרוּגָה הַזֹּאת, וְכַמָּה הִיא שָׁוָה עַכְשָׁיו, וְהַשְׁתָּא לֹא מְשַׁלֵּם כֻּלְּהוּ דָּמֶיהָ, דְּמִי שֶׁלּוֹקֵחַ בֵּית סְאָה כְּשֶׁהִיא בִּתְבוּאָתָהּ אֵינוֹ מְזַלְזֵל בָּהּ בִּשְׁבִיל הֶפְסֵד עֲרוּגָה אַחַת כִּי אִם דָּבָר מֻעָט:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שמין בית סאה באותה שדה – we do not estimate the garden bed alone because the damage causes loss when we estimate it according to its value, and the All-Merciful stated (Exodus 22:4): “[When a man lets his livestock loose] to graze in another’s land,” and we expound that it teaches that we estimate it on top of another field, but we estimate a Bet-Seah ( 2500 square cubits or 50 cubits square) in that field how much it was worth before the garden bed was eaten from how much it is worth now. But now, he does not pay all of its monetary value, for whomever purchases a Bet Seah when it is with its grain does not despise it for the loss of one garden bed for it is a small amount.

**רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר אָכְלָה פֵּרוֹת גְּמוּרִים.** שֶׁכְּבָר בָּשְׁלוּ כָּל צָרְכָּן, מְשַׁלֶּמֶת כָּל הַהֶזֵּק. וְהֵיכָא שָׁיְמִינַן אַגַּב שָׂדֶה, הֵיכָא דַּעֲדַיִן לֹא נִגְמְרוּ. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ר' שמעון אומר אכלה פירות גמורים – for already they ripened fully – she (i.e., the owner of the animal) pays all the damages. But where we estimate on account of a field where it had not yet fully where it had not fully ripened. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Shimon.

**וְאִם הִגְדִּישׁ בִּרְשׁוּת בַּעַל הַשָּׂדֶה חַיָּב.** בַּגְּמָרָא מוֹקֵי לַהּ בְּבִקְעָה, שֶׁרְגִילִין כֻּלָּן לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּגֹרֶן אֶחָד, זֶה גְּדִישׁוֹ וְזֶה גְּדִישׁוֹ, וּמְמַנִּין שׁוֹמֵר. וְכֵיוָן שֶׁאָמַר הַשּׁוֹמֵר עַיֵּל וּגְדֹשׁ, הָוֵי כְּאִלּוּ אָמַר עַיֵּל וְאֶנְטַר לָךְ. אֲבָל בִּשְׁאָר בְּנֵי אָדָם, אֲפִלּוּ הִגְדִּישׁ בִּרְשׁוּת אֵין בַּעַל הַשָּׂדֶה חַיָּב, עַד דִּמְקַבֵּל עָלֶיהָ נְטִירוּתָא:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ואם הדגיש ברשות בעל השדה חייב – In the Gemara (Tractate Bava Kamma 59b), it establishes it in a valley, for everyone together are accustomed to make it in one garden bed. This is his heap of sheaves and that is the other’s heap of sheaves and they appoint a guard. And since the guard state that he will go up and make a heap of sheaves, it is as if he said: “I will go up and guard yours.” But with the rest of the people, even if he made a heap of sheaves with permission, the owner of the field is not liable until he accepts upon himself protection/guardianship.

**בָּא אַחֵר וְלִבָּה.** נָפַח בָּאֵשׁ וְהֶעֱלָה שַׁלְהֶבֶת, כְּמוֹ בְּלַבַּת אֵשׁ (שמות ג). וְאִית סְפָרִים דְּגָרְסֵי נִבָּה, מִגִּזְרַת נִיב שְׂפָתַיִם (ישעיה נז), כְּשֶׁאָדָם מְדַבֵּר מְנַעֲנֵעַ בִּשְׂפָתָיו וְרוּחַ יוֹצֵא:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בא אחר וליבה – he blew on the fire and it rose into a large flame like (Exodus 3:2): “[An angel of the LORD appeared to him] in a blazing fire” and there are those who have the reading "נבה" – from the decree (Isaiah 57:19): “heartening comforting words: [ it shall be well, Well with the far and the near – said the LORD-and I will heal them].” When a person speaks and moves his lips, and wind escapes.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ר"ש אומר הכל לפי הדליקה – according to the height of the fire and the size of the barley when the large fire jumps from afar. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Shimon.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ר' יהודה אומר ישלם כל מה שבתוכו – that Rabbi Yehuda obligates on hidden damage in the fire, for he does not have (i.e., hold) the expounded teaching on "או הקמה"/or the standing grain (see Exodus 22:5). Just as the standing grain is uncovered, even all that is uncovered.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וחכ"א אינו משלם אלא גדיש וכו' - they have (i.e., “hold by” this expounded teaching of "או הקמה" and exempt on all damages that are hidden in the fire, but they estimate the place of the utensils as if it is a heap of grain. And he pays the heap of grain like the measure of the body of the utensils and when we stated the end [of our Mishnah]: “And the Sages agree with Rabbi Yehuda” – when he sets fire to a large building, that he pays for all that is inside it. And it is proven in the Gemara (Tractate Bava Kamma 61b) that Rabbi Yehuda and the Rabbis disagreed also with one who kindles a fire in [the property] of his fellow, as Rabbi Yehuda holds that if he lights a fire in that of his fellow, he pays for everything that is within it, and even for a money-bag (or a purse hanging from the neck). But the Rabbis hold that utensils that one ordinarily hides in a heap of sheaves such as threshing sledges (i.e., an implement with grooves and indentations) and the utensils of cattle he pays for; utensils that one customarily does not hid in a heap of sheaves, he does not pay. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
היה גדי כפות לו חייב – for living creatures are also included in "או הקמה"/or standing grain. And because of the case that he who has committed two offenses simultaneously, must be held answerable for the severer only, he cannot be exempted. That he is not liable for death on the slave, for since he was not tied up, he could have fled and would exempt about him from the death penalty and from payments. But if he was a slave tied up, he would be exempt even on the kid and on the heap of sheaves, but he would liable for the death penalty on the slave – for he who has committed two offenses simultaneously, must be held answerable for the severer only. But concerning the kid, it makes ono difference whether it was tied up or not tied up, for since it (i.e. the Mishnah) took the language of the slave, it took the language of the kid as well.

Even though I will kindle with that of my fellow, he doesn’t pay, according to the Sages other than things that it is customary to hide in a heap of sheaves.
