6:5      
If the ball is stationary or rolling on the floor in the goal area, it is considered to be in the possession of the goalkeeper’s team (see, however, the special situations in 6 :7b-d).  The goalkeeper executes a goalkeeper-throw in accordance with 6 :4 and 12 :1.  Before the ball has been picked up, it is ‘in play’, but it must not be touched by a court player of either team.  A violation by a teammate of the goalkeeper leads to a free-throw for the opponents (13:1a). A violation by a player of the opposing team leads to a goalkeeper-throw (12:1).  It is fully permitted to touch the ball when it is in the air over the goal area.

6:5
The ball remains in play, while it is rolling on the floor inside the goal area.  It is in the possession of the goalkeeper’s team and only the goalkeeper may touch it.  The goalkeeper may pick it up, which brings it out of play, and then put it back into play, in accordance with 6:4 and 12:1-2 (see, however, 6:7b).  It leads to a free-throw (13:1a) if the ball is touched by a teammate of the goalkeeper while it is rolling (see, however, 14:1a, in conjunction with Clarification 8c), and the game is continued with a goalkeeper-throw (12:1 (iii) ) if it is touched by an opponent.

The ball is out of play, as soon as it is lying on the floor in goal area (12:1 (ii) ).  It is in the possession of the goalkeeper’s team and only the goalkeeper may touch it. The goalkeeper must put it back into play in accordance with 6:4 and 12:2 (see, however, 6:7b).  It remains a goalkeeper-throw if the ball is touched by any other player of either team (12:1 2nd paragraph, 13:3).

It is fully permitted to touch the ball when it is in the air over the goal area.

12:1     
A goalkeeper-throw is awarded when:  (i) a player of the opposing team has entered the goal area in violation of Rule 6 :2a;  (ii) the goalkeeper has controlled the ball in the goal area (6:4-5) ; (iii) a player of the opposing team has touched the ball when it is rolling or stationary on the floor in the goal area (6:5) ;  or (iv) when the ball has crossed the outer goal line, after having been touched last by the goalkeeper or a player of the opposing team.

12:1
A goalkeeper-throw is awarded when:  (i) a player of the opposing team has entered the goal area in violation of Rule 6 :2a;  (ii) the goalkeeper has controlled the ball in the goal area, or the ball is stationary on the floor in the goal area  (6:4-5); (iii) a player of the opposing team has touched the ball when it is rolling on the floor in the goal area (6:5 - 1st  paragraph) ; or (iv) when the ball has crossed the outer goal line, after having been touched last by the goalkeeper or a player of the opposing team.
