Commentary for Kiddushin 53:2
ת"ש דאמר רבא בר יצחק אמר רב שני שטרות הן זכו בשדה זו לפלוני וכתבו לו את השטר חוזר בשטר ואינו חוזר בשדה ע"מ שתכתבו לו את השטר חוזר בין בשטר בין בשדה
This proves that they must be heaped up thereon.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Otherwise, why specify the particular spot where they lie?');"><sup>4</sup></span> - [No:] there it was different, for he did not wish to give them trouble.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The place being rented to them, they could remove the tithes at their convenience. But had he rented some other place to them, he might have wanted the spot where they were lying.');"><sup>5</sup></span> Come and hear: For Raba B'Isaac said in Rab's name: There are two [different kinds of] deeds.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Rav explains that if the person only says “and write the deed” he can retract from his instruction to write the deed. But he cannot retract from the granting of the field itself. The transfer of the land has already occurred and cannot be taken back. However, if he stipulates “on condition” then the land is not transferred until the deed is written. Therefore, he can retract from both elements.
