5) [line 29] KLAL U'FRAT EIN BA'KLAL ELA MAH SHEBA'PRAT
(a) In the Introduction to the Sifra (the Halachic Midrash to Vayikra), Rebbi Yishmael lists thirteen methods that Chazal use for extracting the Halachah from the verses of the Torah. One of them is Klal u'Frat Ein ba'Klal Ela Mah sheba'Prat.
(b) This method determines that when the Torah writes that a certain Halachah applies generally (i.e. without any restrictions), and afterwards records that the Halachah applies only in a *specific* case or instance, the latter expression is accepted as primary, and the Halachah only applies in the specific case or instance.

6) [line 31] PRAT U'KLAL NA'ASEH KLAL MUSAF AL HA'PRAT
(a) In the Introduction to the Sifra (the Halachic Midrash to Vayikra), Rebbi Yishmael lists thirteen methods that Chazal use for extracting the Halachah from the verses of the Torah. One of them is Prat u'Klal Na'aseh Klal Musaf Al ha'Prat.
(b) This method determines that when the Torah writes that a certain Halachah applies only in a *specific* case or instance, and afterwards records the same Halachah generally (i.e. without any restrictions), the latter expression is accepted as primary, and the Halachah applies in all cases without restrictions.

13) [line 53] BOR B'RESHUS HA'RABIM
(a) The Torah delineates specific laws of damages that describe in which case, by which method and how much a Jew is obligated to pay when he or his possessions cause damage to others.
(b) When a person digs a pit in Reshus ha'Rabim and does not cover it properly, and an animal passing through Reshus ha'Rabim falls into the pit, the Torah requires that the person who dug the pit pay for the damages. Even though the pit is not his private domain but is ownerless, and even though the pit did nothing to attack the animal but rather the animal walked into the pit on its own, he is nevertheless responsible.
(c) In certain circumstances, the Torah exempts a person who digs a pit in Reshus ha'Rabim from the damages it causes. For example: (1) if utensils fall in and break; (2) if an animal falls in and dies and the pit was not ten Tefachim deep; (3) if a person falls in and dies, even if the pit was ten Tefachim deep. (The details of these Halachos are explained in the first chapter of Bava Kama.)
