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.)
