(Mishnah): The Torah was stringent about a man who damages, to obligate him to pay Nezek, pain, Refu'ah, Sheves, Boshes, and Demei Vlados (compensation for a fetus);

An ox pays only Nezek. It is exempt from Demei Vlados.

One who strikes his father or mother and does not make a wound, or one who strikes a person on Yom Kipur is liable for all of these.

One who strikes a Yisrael slave is liable for all damages, except for Sheves if it is his own slave;

One who strikes another's Kena'ani slave is liable for all damages;

R. Yehudah says, Boshes does not apply to slaves.

(Gemara - R. Avahu citing R. Yochanan) Inference: This teaches that [the first Tana holds that] we estimate Boshes for slaves.

(R. La citing R. Yochanan): If one was Makdish his own Ma'ase Yadayim (earnings), they are all Kadosh.

[R. Yochanan] later taught [a Tosefta] that if one was Makdish his slave's Ma'ase Yadayim, we remove his sustenance (what he needs to eat), and the rest is Hekdesh.

Question: [Why] here you say that the rest is Hekdesh, and here you say that all is Kadosh?

Answer (R. Acha): Yisrael are commanded to finance free men more than [they are commanded to finance] slaves. (Surely the Makdish will not starve even if we say that all his earnings are Kadosh, but the slave might starve.)

Question: Didn't R. Yochanan say that one who cuts off the hand of his friend's slave, the master receives his Nezek, pain, Refu'ah, Sheves, and Boshes, and the slave is fed from Tzedakah! (People will finance him!)

Answer (R. Acha): Yisrael more commonly finance amputee slaves than intact [slaves].

Question: When R. Yochanan ate meat, he gave to his slaves; when he drank wine, he gave to his slaves, and applied to himself "ha'Lo va'Beten Oseni Asahu'' (Hash-m made both me and my slave in the womb - how can I treat myself greater than him?!)

Answer: There (we said that Yisrael need not finance slaves) is according to letter of the law. Here [R. Yochanan acted] with the attribute of mercy (not everyone is so merciful).
