Now, according to Resh Lakish, who maintains that meshikah is explicitly required by Biblical law: it is well if he agrees with R'Shesheth, who rules [that] produce can effect a barter; then he can explain it as R'Shesheth. But if he holds with R'Nahman, that produce cannot effect a barter, whilst money does not effect a title [at all], how can he explain it?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For, as we have seen, on the original hypothesis either of these is involved.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
Tosefta Kiddushin
[The process of something being transferred to the] ownership of the Temple with money, how so? If the treasurer gave coins for hekdesh moveable property, he acquires the hekdesh wherever he is; but a layperson [not empowered by the authority of the Temple] doesn't acquire until the moment he draws [it]. Speech [by a Temple treasurer or another official is as effective in transferring property] to the Temple as the handing over of a layperson. How so? "This ox is hekdesh", "This house is hekdesh"—even from where to the end of the world, he acquires the hekdesh wherever he is; but a layperson only acquires when he takes possession [of it].
