One who intended to take out [an object] in front of him, and it slipped behind him, is exempt; behind him, and it shifted to the front of him, is liable. Indeed, they said: A woman girded with an apron, whether in front of her or behind her, is liable, for it is common [for it] to shift around. R’ Yehudah says: Also letter carriers.

One who takes a loaf of bread out to a public domain is liable; if two [people] took it out, they are [both] exempt. If one could not take it out [by himself] and two took it out, they are [both] liable. R’ Shimon, however, exempts [them]. One who takes out foodstuffs less than the prescribed amount in a vessel is exempt even for the vessel, because the vessel is secondary to it; a live person on a bed, he is exempt even for the bed, for the bed is secondary to him; a corpse on a bed, he is liable. And similarly, [one who takes out a part] of a corpse the size of an olive, or [a piece] of an animal’s carcass the size of an olive, or [a piece] of a dead sheretz the size of a lentil, he is liable. R’ Shimon, however, exempts [him].
