Gemara Notes p. 48

דף ס עמוד א

One is only חייב for something

that is exposed, but not

something hidden

One is חייב for anything that

stands upright, including trees

and animals

One is חייב for anything that

stands upright, including trees

and animals

One is חייב even if his fire burned only one of the objects listed

One is חייב even if his fire burned only one of the objects listed

Since it says “or” by the standing grain, it also says “or” by the field

רבנן ר' יהודה

Why does the Passuk need to teach the word “field”?

To include that one is חייב to pay for the earth and stones that were singed

So why didn’t the Torah just write “the field”, and not write the other three?

If the Torah had only written “the field”, I would have said he is only חייב for what is in the field, but not the ground itself. Therefore the Torah taught “the standing grain” as well to teach us that “the field” refers to the ground itself.
