שור, שור ושור, חמור וגמל, מהו?
an ox, another ox, and a third ox, and then a donkey and a camel, with regard to what is it considered forewarned?
האי שור בתרא – בתר שוורים שדינן ליה, ואכתי לשוורים הוא דאייעד – למידי אחרינא לא אייעד; או דילמא, האי שור בתרא – בתר חמור וגמל שדינן ליה, ואייעד ליה לכולהו מיני?
The Talmud presents the possibilities: With regard to this last ox that was gored together with the donkey and the camel, do we place it together with the previously gored oxen, and accordingly the belligerent ox was still rendered forewarned only with regard to oxen, whereas with regard to other species it was not rendered forewarned? Or perhaps we place this last ox together with the donkey and the camel, and it was rendered forewarned with regard to all of the species it gored.
חמור וגמל, שור, שור ושור, מהו? האי שור קמא – בתר חמור וגמל שדינן ליה, ואייעד ליה לכולהו מיני; או דילמא בתר שוורים שדינן ליה, ואכתי לשוורים הוא דאייעד – למינא אחרינא לא אייעד?
The Talmud adds a similar dilemma: If an ox gored a donkey and a camel, and then an ox, an ox, and another ox, what is the halakha? The Talmud presents the possibilities: With regard to this first ox that it gored, do we place it together with the camel and donkey, and the belligerent ox was accordingly rendered forewarned with regard to all species? Or perhaps we place it together with the two oxen that it gored afterward, and accordingly, it was still rendered forewarned only with regard to oxen, whereas it was not rendered forewarned with regard to other species.
שבת, שבת ושבת, אחד בשבת ושני בשבת, מהו? הא שבת בתרייתא – בתר שבת הוא דשדינן ליה, ואכתי לשבת הוא דאייעד – לימות החול לא אייעד; או דילמא בתר אחד בשבת ושני בשבת שדינן ליה, ואייעד ליה לכולי יומא?
Similarly, if it gored on Shabbat, on Shabbat, and on Shabbat, i.e., on 3 consecutive Shabbatot, and then on Sunday and on Monday, what is the halakha? With regard to this last Shabbat, do we place it together with the previous Shabbat, and the ox was still rendered forewarned only with regard to Shabbat, whereas with regard to weekdays it was not rendered forewarned? Or perhaps we place it together with the goring on Sunday and Monday, and it was thereby rendered forewarned with regard to all days of the week.
