ואמר רבא זרק חץ ותריס בידו ובא אחר ונטלו ואפילו הוא קדם ונטלו פטור דבעידנא דשדייה ביה מיפסק פיסקיה גיריה
Raba said: <font>If one thrust his neighbour into a pit</font>, in which there <font>was a ladder</font> [so that he could have climbed out], and then another came and removed it, or <font>even if himself hastened to remove it, he is not liable [for the victim's death]</font>, because when he threw him in he could have climbed out. Raba also said: <font>If one shot an arrow at his neighbou</font>r, who was <font>holding a shield</font>, but another came and snatched it away, or <font>even if he himself [the thrower] hastened to do so, he is not liable</font>, because when he shot the arrow its force was spent.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'broken', as at the time it was released there was a shield to prevent its killing.
