*11.5 Makkos Daf 08 A (5 lines after spreads)**Summary**Mishna:* Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov: If the victim stuck his head out after the thrower threw the stone, he does not go to _galus._*Gemara:**Beraisa:* The _possuk_ says “[If one causes an object to hurtle through the air] *_U’matza_* [and it will encounter his fellow and kill him]”. *This excludes a case* where it wasn’t the stone that encountered the man *but the man encountered the stone.* This is the source for the law of Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov.*Challenge:* It seems from here that the word *_u’matza_* refers to *something that was already there.*However there’s a _possuk_ that discusses someone who was forced to sell his ancestral fields *_u’matza_ - and finally he acquired enough money* to buy it back.The *_beraisa_* says: the word _u’matza_ excludes a case where he had money before he sold the property and is selling off previously held assets in order to acquire back this field.In our _beraisa_ this expression [ _u’matza_ ] refers to a head *that was already there.* In the second *beraisa* it refers to assets *that were not previously owned!* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
