R. Isaac said: Even if he has only a <i>se'ah</i>, he may borrow many <i>kors</i> against it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For in point of fact, the se'ah that he has does not pass into the lender's possession, and he could, if he wished, dispose of it and then purchase a se'ah for repayment, even at a higher price. Thus, having borrowed one se'ah, he is at liberty to dispose of the first and remain in debt for what he borrowed: this se'ah (the borrowed one) then serves as a standby for another, and the second for a third, and so on.
