כתנאי האוכל תרומת חמץ בפסח פטור מן התשלומין ומדמי עצים דברי רבי עקיבא ר' יוחנן בן נורי מחייב אמר לו רבי עקיבא לר' יוחנן בן נורי וכי מה הנאה יש לו בה אמר לו ר' יוחנן בן נורי לר"ע ומה הנאה יש לאוכל תרומה טמאה בשאר כל ימות השנה שמשלם

R'Johanan B'Nuri retorted to R'Akiba: And what benefit has [the priest therein] that he who eats unclean terumah during the rest of the year must pay?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., what benefit can a priest derive from unclean terumah, seeing that it must not be eaten. Yet if a lay Israelite eats it, all agree that he must pay. The text is in disorder, cf. Rashi and Tosef. Pes. I.');">¹⁴</span> Not so, replied he: if you speak of unclean terumah during the rest of the year, [that is] because though he [the priest] does not enjoy the right to eat it, yet he enjoys the right to use it a fuel.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'though he has not in it a permission of eating, yet he has in it a permission of heating'. The other passages below have the same literal meanings.');">¹⁵</span> Will you say the same of this, in which he does not enjoy the right of eating or the right to use it as fuel?
