Talmud for Kiddushin 51:16
Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin
335Cf. Babli 26a.
A parallel text for this and the following paragraphs is in Halakhah 5 (Note 479); variants are noted there. From where that landed property is bought by money, or contract, or possession? “Fields will be bought by money, writing on a scroll and signing, and testifying of witnesses.336Jer. 32:44. A prophetic text cannot really serve as legal source but it can demonstrate practice. Since the speaker in this verse is God, the practice is accepted by Heaven.” “And signing”, these are the witnesses on the contract. “And testifying of witnesses,” these are the witnesses to possession. Or maybe these are only the witnesses on the contract? These are already written: “Writing on a scroll and signing.”
