קשיא ליה לרב נחמן בר יצחק

BUT IF HE GAVE LESS THAN A SELA' AND BECAME RICH, HE MUST PAY FIFTY SELA'S.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' One twenty years of age and of male sex whose normal valuation is fifty sela's, happens to be poor when paying the poor man's exceptional one sela' for any valuation. That sela', being the legal minimum for a poor man, therefore has paid his debt, and freed him from any obligation, even if afterwards he became rich. But if, whilst poor, he had paid less than a sela', he has not paid the minimum, his obligation to pay his valuation still rests upon him, and on becoming rich he must therefore pay the complete sum due, under the circumstances of payment which for a man not poor, amounts to fifty sela's.');"><sup>11</sup></span>
