The perek ends with praising the virtues of the avot and other biblical characters (including Yishmael who according to tradition, did teshuva at the end of his life).  The new perek begins with a discussion of the need to leave space from a neighboring pit when digging a pit in one’s property or digging various other things or having flammable substances, or anything that could damage the other’s property.  Abaye and Rava debate whether or not one can dig a pit near the border of the neighbor if the neighbor does not at present have a pit there.  There are two versions regarding what type of field they are debating.  The gemara then tries to reconcile which one is correct based on our mishna.
