But if they give it to him even with the stipulation that his master shall have no rights therein, it is the master's, because R. Meir holds that a heathen slave cannot legally acquire anything without passing it on to his master.');">¹³</span> AND BY DEED, THROUGH HIS OWN AGENCY:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He himself must receive the deed of emancipation.');">¹⁴</span> THIS IS R'MEIR'S VIEW.
