לכדרבה דאמר רבה

As regards the law of the firstling, although it is written: All the firstling males that are born of thy he and of thy flock,17 [from which it would follow that] thine only is subject but not what is held jointly, the Divine Law stated: And the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.18 What then is the significance of 'thy herd and thy flock'? - It excludes what is held jointly with a gentile. As regards the law of mezuzah,19 although it is written: Thy house,20 [from which it would follow that] thine only is subject but not what is held jointly, the Divine Law stated: That your days may be multiplied and the days of your children.21 What then is the significance of 'thy house'? - It is as Rabbah stated.

Tosefta Terumot

A Jew and a Gentile that bought a field in Syria, behold they are like untithed produce and like tithes that are mixed together, the words of Rebbi. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel says, the portion [belonging to] the Jew are liable in tithes, and the portion [belonging to] the Gentile are exempt from tithes. A Jew that bought a field in Syria, even though he went back and sold it to a Gentile, [the field] is liable in tithes and in shevi'it (the laws of the sabbatical year), because it had previously been liable. But [in the case of a field owned by a Gentile but worked on by Jewish] sharecroppers or tenant farmers or the families [of Jewish sharecroppers], or [in the case where] a Gentile mortgaged his field to a Jew, even though he acted based on [Jewish] law, [the field] is exempt from tithes and from shevi'it [because ownership is retained by a Gentile, see Gitt. 43b:11].
