ו וְכֵן עַל חַיָּה רָעָה שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּלְּחָה, אֲפִלּוּ לֹא הִזִּיקָה אֶלָּא נִרְאֵית בִּלְבַד, מִתְעַנִּין וּמַתְרִיעִין בְּכָל מָקוֹם, אֲפִלּוּ הָרְחוֹקִים; אֲבָל אִם אֵינָהּ מְשֻׁלַּחַת, אֵינָהּ אֶלָּא מִקְרֶה. אֵיזוֹ הִיא מְשֻׁלַּחַת, נִרְאֲתָה בָּעִיר בַּיּוֹם, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְשֻׁלַּחַת; נִרְאֲתָה בַּשָּׂדֶה בַּיּוֹם, אִם רָאֲתָה שְׁנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם וְלֹא בָּרְחָה מִפְּנֵיהֶם, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְשֻׁלַּחַת; וְאִם הָיְתָה שָׂדֶה שֶׁסְמוּכָה לַאֲגַם, וְרָאֲתָה שְׁנֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם וְרָדְפָה אַחֲרֵיהֶם, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְשֻׁלַּחַת; לֹא רָדְפָה אַחֲרֵיהֶם, אֵינָהּ מְשֻׁלַּחַת. וְאִם הָיְתָה בַּאֲגַם, אֲפִלּוּ רָדְפָה אַחֲרֵיהֶם אֵינָהּ מְשֻׁלַּחַת, אֶלָּא אִם טָרְפָה שְׁנֵיהֶם וְאָכְלָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם; אֲבָל אִם אָכְלָה שְׁנֵיהֶם בָּאֲגַם, אֵינָהּ מְשֻׁלַּחַת, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁזֶּה הוּא מְקוֹמָהּ וּמִפְּנֵי הָרְעָבוֹן טָרְפָה, לֹא מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מְשֻׁלַּחַת.
6 And for a wild animal that has been sent (driven), even if it caused only visible harm without actually injuring anyone, they fast and sound the alarm everywhere, even in distant places. However, if the animal is not sent but is a random occurrence, it is only considered sent if it was seen in the city on one day. If it was seen in the field on a day and did not run away from two people, then it is considered sent. If it was in a field adjacent to a pond, and it was seen chasing two people, it is considered sent. If it did not chase after them, it is not considered sent. If it was in a pond, even if it chased after them, it is not considered sent unless it caught both of them and ate one of them. But if it ate both of them in the pond, it is not considered sent, due to it being in its natural habitat and driven by hunger, not because it was sent.
