Commentary for Kiddushin 53:12
תניא כוותיה דרבא יפה כח הכסף מכח השטר וכח השטר מכח הכסף יפה כח הכסף שהכסף פודין בו הקדשות ומעשר שני מה שאין כן בשטר ויפה כח השטר שהשטר מוציא בבת ישראל מה שאין כן בכסף
Raba said: This was taught<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That movables are acquired along with land.');"><sup>24</sup></span> only if he [the purchaser] had paid the money for them all. But if he had not paid the money for them all, he acquires only to the extent of his money.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud cites a baraita that supports Rava’s rule. This first part of the baraita is not relevant though to the rule. It simply compares the things that can be done with money and things that can be done with a deed. Money can be used to redeem holy things, including second tithe. The deed can be used to divorce but money cannot.
