KEREN IN THE VICTIM'S PREMISES (Yerushalmi Perek 2 Halachah 7 Daf 11b)

îúðé' ùåø äîæé÷ áøùåú äðéæ÷ ëéöã

(a)

(Mishnah): What is the law of an ox that damaged in the victim's premises?

ðâç ðâó ðùê øáõ áòè áøùåú äøáéí îùìí çöé ðæ÷

(b)

If it gored, pushed, bit, crouched or kicked in Reshus ha'Rabim, it pays half-damage;

áøùåú äðéæ÷ øáé èøôåï àåîø ðæ÷ ùìí

(c)

In the victim's premises, R. Tarfon obligates full damage;

åçëîéí àåîøéí çöé ðæ÷

(d)

Chachamim say, it pays half-damage.

àîø ìäï øáé èøôåï îä àí áî÷åí ùäé÷ì òì äùï åòì äøâì áøùåú äøáéí ùäåà ôèåø äçîéø òìéäï áøùåú äðéæ÷ ìùìí ðæ÷ ùìí î÷åí ùäçîéø òì ä÷øï áøùåú äøáéí ìùìí çöé ðæ÷ àéðå ãéï ùðçîéø òìéäï áøùåú äðéæ÷ ìùìí ðæ÷ ùìí

R. Tarfon (to Chachamim): In a place where the Torah is lenient to exempt Shen and Regel, i.e. in Reshus ha'Rabim they are exempt, it is stringent about them in the victim's Reshus, to pay full damage. In a place where it is stringent about Keren, to pay half-damage in a Reshus ha'Rabim, all the more we should be stringent about them to pay full damage in the victim's premises!

àîøå ìå ãééå ìáà îï äãéï ìäéåú ëðãåï îä áøùåú äøáéí çöé ðæ÷ àó áøùåú äðéæ÷ çöé ðæ÷

2.

Chachamim: Dayo (it suffices) to learn from a Kal va'Chomer to be like the source (we cannot learn more than the source). Just like [Keren] pays half-damage in a Reshus ha'Rabim, also in the victim's premises it pays half damage.

àîø ìäï àðé ìà àãåï ÷øï î÷øï àðé àãåï ÷øï îøâì

3.

R. Tarfon: I will not learn Keren from Keren. I will learn Keren from Regel!

åîä àí áî÷åí ùäé÷ì òì äùï åòì äøâì áøùåú äøáéí äçîéø á÷øï î÷åí ùäçîéø òìéäï áøùåú äðéæ÷ àéðå ãéï ùðçîéø á÷øï

i.

In a place where the Torah is lenient [to exempt] Shen and Regel, in Reshus ha'Rabim, it is stringent about Keren. In a place where it is stringent about [Shen and Regel], in the victim's Reshus, all the more so we should be stringent about Keren [to pay full damage]!

(àîø) [ö''ì àîøå - ôðé îùä] ìå ãééå ìáà îï äãéï ìäéåú ëðãåï îä áøùåú äøáéí çöé ðæ÷ àó áøùåú äðéæ÷ çöé ðæ÷:

4.

Chachamim: Dayo to learn from a Kal va'Chomer to be like the source. Just like in Reshus ha'Rabim [Keren] pays only half-damage, also in the victim's Reshus, half-damage.

âî' à''ø éåçðï ãø' èøôåï äéà ãøùåú äðéæ÷ ø' èøôåï àåîø ðæ÷ ùìí åçëîéí àåîøéí çöé ðæ÷:

(e)

(Gemara - R. Yochanan): [The Mishnah] is like R. Tarfon. In the victim's Reshus, R. Tarfon says that [a Tam] pays full damage. Chachamim say, it pays half-damage.

Note: R. Yochanan said so about Mishnah 1:4, which calls an ox that damages in the victim's premises 'Mu'ad'. His words were copied and put on our Mishnah, even though they are not appropriate here. The Yerushalmi often does so.
