(Mishnah - R. Yehudah): If one burned a stack, and Kelim were inside and they burned, he pays whatever was inside;

Chachamim say, he only pays for a stack of wheat or barley (whatever it was).

If one burned a stack of grain, and there was a goat tied to it and a slave nearby, and it was burned, he is liable;

If there was a slave tied to it and a goat nearby, and it was burned, he is exempt.

Chachamim admit to R. Yehudah that one who burns a building pays for everything inside, for people normally put (all kinds of) things in houses.

(Gemara - R. Avahu citing R. Yochanan): Chachamim agree about Kelim of the granary, for it is normal to hide them [in a stack].

Question: R. Yehudah contradicts himself! There [in Pe'ah 6:9, regarding Shichechah,] he expounds to exclude Tamun (what is covered). Here he includes Tamun!

Answer: Here, R. Yehudah expounds [to include] only because it says "a stack''. (It already said Kamah.) Why does it say also a stack? It is to include whatever is inside. (There, it says Sadeh, which is exposed, to exclude Tamun.)

Question: Chachamim contradict themselves! There [in Pe'ah, regarding Shichechah,] they expound to include Tamun. Here they exclude Tamun!

Note: PNEI MOSHE brings that there, the Gemara answers that regarding a fire, it says "Oh ha'Kamah Oh ha'Sadeh'' - one is liable only for what is like a field, i.e. exposed. Regarding Shichechah, Sadcha is exposed, to exclude Tamun. Ketzircha is exposed, to exclude Tamun. Two exclusions come to include [Tamun]!

Answer: Didn't R. Avahu say in the name of R. Yochanan that Chachamim agree about Kelim of the granary, for it is normal to hide them [in a stack?! For both a fire and Shichechah, Chachamim include white is commonly covered- MEICHAL HA'MAYIM.]

(R. Hoshayah): [The argument] is when there are no witnesses. However, if there are witnesses, all agree to R. Yehudah. (The Yerushalmi explains that they argue about one who burned in another's field, and the victim says that covered valuables were burned. R. Yehudah holds that he is believed to swear so and collect, just like there was an enactment for a victim of burglary. Rabanan say so only about what is common to cover inside. If we know through witnesses, all obligate for anything.)

(Beraisa): If there was a stack of wheat covered with barley, or a stack of barley covered with wheat, he gives to him a stack of barley (it is worth less. This is when there are no witnesses; it is like Chachamim.)

This is like the case of a man who deposited with his friend a bundle, and Ones occurred (through negligence of the Shomer. The Shomer) says that [perhaps] it was full of Sigin (useless by-products of silver), and [the depositor] says that it was full of silk. He swears so, and receives. (Chachamim agree that a depositor is believed to swear and receive. We explained this like MEICHAL HA'MAYIM; NESIVOS YERUSHALAYIM explains somewhat similarly.)

Question (R. Yochanan): Can one claim matters that he is not proper to have?

Answer: We learn from the following. The sharecropper of Bar Ziza deposited a Litra of gold with a man. Bar Ziza and his sharecropper died. The case came in front of R. Yishmael bei R. Yosi. He said, who doesn't know that everything of the sharecropper of Bar Ziza is of Bar Ziza?! (Surely the sharecropper was merely a Shali'ach of Bar Ziza, and deposited Bar Ziza's gold.) The gold should be given to the sons of Bar Ziza;

Bar Ziza had adult sons and minor sons. They said that the adult sons will take their half [now], and when the minor sons mature, they will take their half.

R. Yishmael bei R. Yosi died. The case came in front of R. Chiyah. He said, you cannot learn from here anything! It should be given to the sharecropper's sons. (Some rich people do not want to publicize their wealth, and act like poor people.)

The Shomer: I already gave half [to the sons of Bar Ziza]!

R. Chiyah: What you gave, you gave according to Beis Din. What you will give, you give according to Beis Din.

Question: Can the sharecropper's sons tell Bar Ziza's sons 'give to us what you took'?

Answer: (No.) They can tell them, what was done, was done according to Beis Din.

Question: Can Bar Ziza's young sons tell the older ones 'share with us [what you took]'?

Answer: (No.) They can tell them, [it is as if] we found a Metzi'ah.

Conformation (R. Yitzchak): The younger have no case against the older. It is as if [the older] received a gift.
