Study Guide Bava Kamma 6

The gemara assumes that when the mishna mentions the common denominator between all 4 categories of damages, it must be to include an additional case that we wouldn’t have been able to learn from a particular category.  There are 4 cases brought that are each unique and needed to be learned from the common denominator and couldn’t be derived from one individual category.  Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Yishmael have a debate about what it means to pay from the best of your land – from the best of the one you damaged or the best of the one who caused the damage.  These opinions are explained in the gemara as well as their derivations.

Study Guide Bava Kamma 5

The gemara compares different lists compiled by tanaim about damages – each lists includes additional items.  The gemara discusses why one didn’t include what the other included.   The gemara then goes back to our mishna which compared the 4 nezikin and discusses further differences between the categories and why it was necessary to have a separate listing for each one (both in the mishna and in the Torah itself, upon which the mishna was based).  See attached sheet for charts that highlight the differences in categorization and the differences in halacha between them.

Study Guide Bava Kamma 2

The mishna sets up 4 main categories of damages – an ox, a pit, maveh (acording to the gemara either man or the teeth of an animal) and fire.  The mishna makes a few distinctions between the categories.  The gemara then compares it to the laws of shabbat and impurities where there are also main categories and sub categories and tries to determine whether the categories and subcategories of damages are treated the same by law or different.  Rav Paapa answers that some are the same and some are different.  The gemara then attempts to determine what he meant by that statement (whcih are which).
