ונילף מתרומת (במדבר טו, כ) חלה תנא דבי ר' ישמעאל דנין דבר שנאמר בו ממנו (תרומת ה' מדבר שנאמר בו תרומה לה') לאפוקי תרומת חלה דלא נאמר בו ממנו תרומה לה'
The Master said, 'It is written here "terumah", and it is written there in connection with the terumah of th tithe "terumah".' Perhaps we should infer it from the terumah at Midian!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That portion of the spoil which was given to Eleazar the priest after the battle with the Midianites is described as 'terumah', and consisted of a five hundredth part. Cf. Num. XXXI, 28, 29.');"><sup>31</sup></span> - We may infer the terumah that is binding for all times from that terumah which is also binding for all times, and let not the terumah at Midian enter into the argument since it was not binding for all times.
