י איכא דאמרי סברוה מאי שלחין גינוניאתא בשלמא למאן דאמר באגי אמר תנא קמא גנונייתא מיזדבן באגי לא מיזדבני ואתא רשב"ג למימר אפילו באגי מיזדבני
10 We learned: OLIVE PRESSES AND BETH HASHELAHIN [IRRIGATED FIELDS], and it was assumed that beth hashelahin meant tilling fields, as indicated by the Scriptural verse, and [God] sendeth [sholeah] waters upon the fields.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Job V, 10. ');"><sup>18</sup></span> Now all is well and good if we adopt the opinion of the one who said the word santer means a 'recorder'; the first Tanna [of the Mishnah] lays down that fields are sold with the town but not the recorder, and Rabban Simeon b. Gamaliel comes and tells us that the recorder also is sold. But if we take the word to mean 'fields', has not the first Tanna also said this?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And what does R. Simeon add to his ruling? ');"><sup>19</sup></span> — You think that shelahin means tilling fields? No; it means 'orchards', as indicated by the text, Thy shoots [shelahayik] are an orchard of pomegranates,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cant. IV, 13. ');"><sup>20</sup></span> [and the first Tanna tells us that these are sold] but not tilling fields,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which are not actually part of a town like orchards. ');"><sup>21</sup></span> and R. Simeon comes and tells us that tilling fields also are sold. According to another version, it was assumed that shelahin means orchards. Now it is all well and good if we take the word santer to mean 'fields'; the first Tanna says that orchards are sold with the town but not fields, and Rabban Simeon b. Gamaliel comes and tells us that fields are also sold.
