ואלא השתא דכתיבי הנך קראי לכם למה לי לכדתניא לכם לרבות את הנטוע

Subsequently<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'until'.');"><sup>28</sup></span> R'Akiba came and taught:Thou shalt fear[eth] the Lord thy God is to include scholars.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who are the depositaries of God's word; hence the verse exhorts obedience to religious authority.');"><sup>29</sup></span> But there is 'orlah,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' v. Glos.');"><sup>30</sup></span> whereof the Merciful One saith, Three years shall it be forbidden unto you: it shall not be eaten;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XIX, 23.');"><sup>31</sup></span> yet it was taught: 'It shall be as forbidden unto you: it shall not be eaten'. [Thus] I only know the prohibition of eating; whence do we know that a man may not benefit from it, that he may not dye or light a lamp with it? From the verse, then ye shall count [the fruit thereof] as forbidden: [three years shall they be] as forbidden [unto you]: it sh not be eaten;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XIX, 23.');"><sup>31</sup></span> which is to include all of them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the repetition of 'forbidden' is an extension.');"><sup>32</sup></span> Thus the reason is that Scripture wrote, 'then ye shall count the fruit thereof as forbidden. they shall be as forbidden; but if it were not so,I would say, it implies a prohibition of eating, [but] it does not imply a prohibition of benefit? - In truth 'it shall not be eaten' implies both a prohibition of eating and a prohibition of benefit, but there it is different, because it is written, 'unto you', and thus it is necessary: I might argue, since it is written, 'unto you,' [that implies] it shall be yours;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' viz., you may use it, though not eat it.');"><sup>33</sup></span> hence we are informed [that it is not so]. Then now that these verses<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Repeating the phrase 'forbidden' to extend the prohibition to general benefit.');"><sup>34</sup></span> are written, what is the purpose of 'unto you'? - For what was taught: 'unto you': this is to include what is planted
