Commentary for Bava Kamma 74:2

האי שור בתרא בתר שוורים שדינן. ליה ואכתי לשוורים הוא דאייעד למידי אחרינא לא אייעד או דילמא האי שור בתרא בתר חמור וגמל שדינן ליה ואייעד ליה לכולהו מיני

where an animal has successively gored] an ass, a camel, an ox, another ox, and a [third] ox, what is the legal position? Shall the first ox be counted together with the ass and camel, so that the animal that gored will become <i>Mu'ad</i> to all species [of beasts], or shall it perhaps [rather] be counted together with the [other] oxen, in which case it will still be <i>Mu'ad</i> only to oxen, but not <i>Mu'ad</i> to any other species [of beasts]? [Again, where the consecutive gorings took place on] one Sabbath, [the next] Sabbath and [the third] Sabbath, and then on the [subsequent] Sunday and Monday, what is the legal position? Shall the last Sabbath be counted together with the [first two] Sabbaths, in which case the ox that gored would still be <i>Mu'ad</i> only for Sabbaths, whereas in respect of damage done on week days it would not yet be considered <i>mu'ad</i>, or shall it perhaps be counted together with Sunday and Monday and thus become <i>Mu'ad</i> in respect of all the days [of the week]? [Again, where the consecutive gorings took place on] a Thursday, the eve of Sabbath and the Sabbath, then on [the next] Sabbath and [the third] Sabbath, what is the legal position? Shall the first Sabbath be counted together with Thursday and the eve of Sabbath and the goring ox thus become <i>mu'ad</i> for all days, or shall perhaps the first Sabbath be counted together with the subsequent Sabbaths, in which case the goring ox would become <i>mu'ad</i> only for Sabbaths? — These questions must stand over.
