- > המשסה כלבו של חבירו בחבירו פטור מדיני אדם וחייב בדיני שמים ובעל הכלב חייב חצי נזק שכיון שהוא יודע שאם שסה את כלבו להזיק נושך לא היה לו להניחו ואם שסהו בעצמו בעל הכלב פטור שכל המשנה ובא אחר ושינה בו פטור

> One who incites his fellow's dog onto his [other] fellow is exempt from the Law of Men but is liable by the Law of Heaven. The owner of the dog is liable to pay half-damages, since, because he know that if his dog is incited to damage it will bite, he was not allowed to leave it [unattended]. And if [the one who is bitten] incited [the dog] himself, the owner of the dog is exempt, because [of the principle of] one who deviates, if another deviates, [the damager] is exempt.- The principle of Kol Hameshaneh (_one who deviates_) declares that, because the inciter came along and caused the dog to act differently, the owner is not responsible for damaged caused to the inciter.
