Commentary for Kiddushin 41:8
א"ל רבינא משום דאיכא למימר עבד עברי הנמכר לעובד כוכבים יוכיח שיפה כחו ליגאל בשנה שניה ואין לוה וגואל וגואל לחצאין
Let a Hebrew slave sold to a heathen prove it: his rights are unimpaired. for he may be redeemed in the second year, and yet he cannot borrow and redeem, nor redeem by half.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As supra 20b.');"><sup>10</sup></span> R'Huna B'Hinena propounded of R'Shesheth: If one sells a house in a walled city, can [the house] be redeemed by relations or not?
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Ravina brings in yet another case to compare, one that is further removed from the issue of selling/consecrating ancestral lands. A Hebrew slave sold to a non-Jew may be redeemed in the second year, and yet he cannot borrow and redeem or redeem half. This is a law we learned earlier on the last daf. So too we could say about the one who consecrates an ancestral field. Just because he can redeem in the second year, does not mean that he redeem half or borrow and redeem.
