אמר ליה אי סלקא דעתך לרבי מותר לערב חובה בנדבה ודרבי אליעזר לית ליה אפשר דמייתי שיתין בחד מנא וחד בחד מנא ומגע להו וקמיץ
R'Aha the son of Raba said to R'Ashi, Perhaps all hold that it is permitted to mix the offering of obligation with the freewill-offering, but they differ over R'Eliezer's ruling: the Sages accepting R'Eliezer' ruling<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Accordingly sixty tenths are brought in one vessel, and when the second handful is about to be burnt, having already burnt the first handful, he declares, 'If this vessel also contains a freewill-offering then this handful is rightly being burnt on its behalf, but if the contents of the vessel are entirely the meal-offering of obligation then this handful is being burnt merely as wood and not as an offering.'');"><sup>5</sup></span> while Rabbi does not accept R'Eliezer's ruling!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He cannot therefore bring sixty tenths in one vessel, since he could not burn the second handful, for he might be transgressing the prohibition of ye shall not burn.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
And that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Arakhin 2a) that there is no distinction in appraisals whether he is handsome or ugly or sick or blind or stump-legged. Rather all are appraised according to [their] years, as the Torah commanded about them. And that which they said (Arakhin 2a) that the value is not like appraisal, such that one who says, "The value of x is upon me," gives according to what he is worth and we do not pay attention to the years at all - as the Torah only commanded to give the valuation according to years specifically for appraisal, as we explained. And [payment of] undifferentiated appraisals and values are for the upkeep of the [Temple] and we always give all of it into the cell that was prepared in the Temple for the consecrated items of the upkeep of the [Temple] (so is it found in Mishneh Torah, Laws of Appraisals and Devoted Property 1:10). And [also] the law of one [the sex of which is in doubt], a gentile or a slave who appraised or were appraised; the law of one who is dying that he has no appraisal or value; the law of one who is going out to be killed; the law of one who appraises one limb; the law of one who says, "My weight is upon me"; the law of one who says, "My height is upon me," or "My full height is upon me"; [the law of] one who says, "Gold and silver are upon me," but he did not specify from which [type of] coin (Menachot 104b); and the law of how it is that we arrange things for one who made an appraisal and his hand could not reach to pay what he appraised - and this is what the Sages said about this matter (Arakhin 23b): We take collateral from those obligated in appraisals and values, and we do not return the collateral during the day or the night; and we sell everything that is found to them of land and movable items - even clothing and household utensils, and there is no need to say, slaves and beasts. But we do not sell for them the clothing of their wives or their children - and not even clothes that he [just] dyed for their sake nor new shoes from when he bought them for their sake before he made the appraisal. And so [too,] one who consecrates all of his possessions, does not consecrate these.
