MISHNAH: He who brings a flock into a corral and locks them in as he should, but they managed to get out and caused damage, is liable. If they broke out in the night or robbers broke in and they managed to get out and caused damage, he is not liable. If robbers let them out, the robbers are liable.

HALAKHAH: “He who brings a flock into a corral,” etc. Rebbi La in the name of Rebbi Yannai: In disagreement. Rebbi Eleazar said, it is everybody’s opinion. Rebbi La said, Rebbi Eleazar’s statement is convincing since watching the animal itself is written only for “horn”. What about it? Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, in disagreement. Rebbi Eleazar said, it is everybody’s opinion. Some say, it follows Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob who said, in no case is he liable.

So far if [the corral] was fenced in on four sides. If it was fenced in on three sides and breached on one side, and [an animal] left through the breach, what is the rule? Let us hear from the following: “If his wall fell in from the noise of earthquakes or thunder and he rebuilt it as required, he is not liable, otherwise he is liable.” The only problem is if three better built walls fell together with it.

It was stated: Rebbi Joshua said, four persons are not required to pay but Heaven will not forgive them until they pay up: A person who knows testimony beneficial to another but does not testify is not required to pay but Heaven will not forgive him until he pays up. A person who hires false witnesses against another and collects is not required to pay but Heaven will not forgive him until he pays up. A person who bends standing grain towards a fire or who makes a breach in a fence for animals is not required to pay but Heaven will not forgive him until he pays up.

“If robbers let it out, the robbers are liable.” Rav Hoshaia said, if they let it out as part of their robbery. But if they let it out to get lost, the robbers are not liable.
