Commentary for Bekhorot 117:14

קרא לתשיעי עשירי ויצא העשירי ולא דבר התשיעי נאכל במומו והעשירי מעשר

for it was made quite clear that it was the tenth.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For since it followed the ninth, it was obvious that it was the tenth, and therefore it is like other tithe, although it was not called so. Raba therefore will not be able to prove his ruling from this Baraitha. Another explanation is: the reason it was the tithe, although it was not called so, was because it passed through the same door as the other nine; but if it remained in the shed or if it passed through a different door, I might have thought that it does not become sacred automatically (Rashi) .');">⁹</span>
