Commentary for Kiddushin 33:14
ונילף נתינה נתינה מעבד מה להלן שלשים אף כאן שלשים חדא דתפשתה מרובה לא תפשתה ועוד עבד מעבד הוה ליה למילף ר' שמעון מיכה מיכה גמר
But on the views of R'Judah and R'Simeon, why are these necessary?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since the sum is learnt from elsewhere, while the gift need not be of these three in particular, as stated in the following Baraitha.');"><sup>20</sup></span> - They are necessary, even as it was taught: I might think that the gift can be made only of flocks, the threshing-floor, and the wine-press: how do I know that all things are included? From the verse: 'as [i.e., with whatever] the Lord thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him'.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The two claims that helped explain why R. Judah learned thirty from the context of the slave are both difficulties on R. Shimon.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Shimon does not learn from the repetition of the word “giving.” Rather he learns from the repetition of the word “poverty,” which appears in Leviticus 27:8 (evaluations) and Leviticus 25:3 (slavery). Note that the problem with this is that the law that the master must grant the slave a gift does not appear in Leviticus, so to accomplish this we have to do a double jump, from Leviticus 27 to Leviticus 25 to Deuteronomy 15.
