ואליבא דר' יהודה דאמר מעשר ממון הדיוט הוא דכולי עלמא לא פליגי דקני כי פליגי אליבא דר' מאיר דאמר מעשר ממון גבוה הוא מאן דאמר לא קני כר' מאיר ומאן דאמר קני כיון דמעשר קרי ליה שלמים כי מיתפסת ליה נמי תפיס
- Surely it has been stated in connection with this that Rab said, The peace-offering has not appropriated it; and what is meant by 'the hide does not become unhallowed'? It means this:-[The wild animal] does not come within the category [of peace-offerings] for its hide to become unhallowed.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the usual way when cattle is bought with Second Tithe money and is offered as a peace-offering the hide becomes absolutely unhallowed and has neither the sanctity of the peace-offering nor the sanctity of Second Tithe. And likewise, if the sanctity of peace-offerings could apply to wild animals the hide thereof would also become absolutely unhallowed. Since, however, this is not the case, for the wild animal does not come within the category of peace-offerings, the hide does not become unhallowed, but it must be sold and the money received must be treated as Second Tithe money (Rashi MS. and Tosaf.) .');"><sup>13</sup></span> And why is it so? - Rabbah answered.
