<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> אמר רבא רפת שאמרו אינה מתעה ואינה משמרת אינה מתעה מדקתני אינו חייב בה ואינה משמרת מדאיצטריך למיתני אינו חייב בה
IF HIS FATHER ORDERS HIM TO DEFILE HIMSELF, OR SAYS TO HIM, 'DO NOT RETURN [IT].' HE MUST NOT OBEY HIM. IF ONE UNLOADS AND LOADS, UNLOADS AND LOADS, EVEN FOUR OR FIVE TIMES, HE IS [STILL] BOUND [TO DO IT AGAIN], BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN, THOU SHALT SURELY HELP [WITH HIM].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex.

Sifrei Devarim
"on the way": and not in the stall — whence it was ruled: If it were found (fallen) in the stall, the obligation does not obtain; if in the public thoroughfare, it does.

Sifrei Devarim
"lift up shall you lift up": If he righted it, and it fell; righted it, and it fell — even four or five times — he must continue righting it, it being written "lift up shall you lift up." If the owner left (his fallen animal), sat down, and said to him: Since you have a mitzvah to unload, unload, he is exempt from doing so, it being written with him" (the owner). I might think that this were so even if he (the owner) were old or afflicted with boils; it is, therefore, written "lift up shall you lift up" (i.e., even in the latter instance).
