<b><i>MISHNAH</i></b>. [IF A MAN SELLS A FIELD] HE DOES NOT INCLUDE<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Even though he inserts the words, 'it and all its contents'.

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> לא את הבור ולא את הגת ולא את השובך בין חרבין בין ישובין וצריך ליקח לו דרך דברי ר"ע וחכמים אומרים אינו צריך

AND [IF HE REQUIRES] A RIGHT OF WAY TO THEM HE MUST BUY IF [FROM THE PURCHASER]. THIS IS THE OPINION OF R. AKIBA.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who said supra 64b that the vendor sells in a liberal spirit. ');">³</span> THE SAGES HOWEVER SAY THAT HE IS NOT REQUIRED TO DO SO.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because, according to them, he interprets the terms of sale strictly. ');">⁴</span>

ומודה ר"ע בזמן שאמר לו חוץ מאלו שאינו צריך ליקח לו דרך מכרן לאחר ר"ע אומר אינו צריך ליקח לו דרך וחכ"א צריך ליקח לו דרך

R. AKIBA ADMITS THAT IF THE VENDOR SAYS TO HIM, [I SELL YOU ALL] EXCEPT THESE, HE NEED NOT BUY A RIGHT OF WAY.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As otherwise the exception would be quite superfluous. ');">⁵</span> IF HE SELLS THESE THINGS [WITHOUT THE FIELD] R. AKIBA SAYS THAT HE [THE PURCHASER] HAS NO NEED TO BUY A RIGHT OF WAY TO THEM, BUT THE SAGES SAY THAT HE HAS. THE ABOVE RULE<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the well etc. are not included in the field. ');">⁶</span>

בד"א במוכר אבל בנותן מתנה נותן את כולה האחין שחלקו זכו בשדה זכו בכולה המחזיק בנכסי הגר החזיק בשדה החזיק בכולה

APPLIES ONLY TO A VENDOR, BUT A DONOR IS HELD TO MAKE ALL THESE PART OF THE GIFT.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because a donor is supposed to give in a liberal spirit.

המקדיש את השדה הקדיש את כולה ר"ש אומר המקדיש את השדה לא הקדיש אלא את החרוב המורכב ואת סדן השקמה:

HIS FIELD HE SANCTIFIES ALL THESE THINGS.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Because sanctifying is a kind of gift. ');">¹¹</span> R.

SYCAMORE TREE.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The meaning of this is discussed in the Gemara. ');">¹⁵</span> <b><i>GEMARA</i></b>. Why should the rule of a sale be different from that of a gift? — Judah b. Nakusa explained [the reason] in the presence of Rabbi [saying], The one [the vendor] specifies,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The objects reserved. ');">¹⁶</span>

רב אשי אמר מי לא תנן במה דברים אמורים במוכר אבל בנותן מתנה נותן את כולן אלמא מאן דיהיב מתנה בעין יפה יהיב ה"נ מאן דיהיב מתנה בעין יפה יהיב:

the other [the donor] does not specify. What do you mean by saying that the one specifies and the other does not specify, when the fact is that just as the one does not specify so the other does not specify? — What we should say is: The latter ought to have specified,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the donor wishes to reserve things for himself, he should specify them, because he is supposed to give in a liberal spirit. ');">¹⁷</span> the former has no need to specify.

המקדיש את השדה הקדיש וכו': אמר רב הונא אע"ג דאמור רבנן הקונה שני אילנות בתוך של חבירו הרי זה לא קנה קרקע מכר קרקע ושייר שני אילנות לפניו יש לו קרקע ואפילו לר"ע דאמר מוכר בעין יפה מוכר הני מילי גבי בור ודות דלא קא מכחשי בארעא אבל אילנות דקא מכחשי בארעא

A man gave instructions [saying], 'Give to so-and-so a room holding a hundred barrels.' It was found that the room [in question] would hold a hundred and twenty barrels. Mar Zutra [on hearing the case] said, He gave him [the space of] a hundred barrels and not of a hundred and twenty.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And therefore he acquires only that portion of the room which will hold a hundred barrels. ');">¹⁸</span> Said R. Ashi to him: Have we not learnt, THIS RULE APPLIES ONLY TO A VENDOR, BUT A DONOR IS PRESUMED TO MAKE ALL THESE PART OF THE GIFT, from which we infer that a donor is presumed to give in a liberal spirit?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'with a bounteous eye'. ');">¹⁹</span> So here [we say that] the donor gives in a liberal spirit.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And the whole room is given to the recipient. ');">²⁰</span> IF A MAN SANCTIFIES A FIELD HE SANCTIFIES etc. R. Huna said: Although the Rabbis have laid down that when a man buys two trees in another man's field he does not acquire any of the soil with them,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As he would if he bought three trees. V. infra 81a. ');">²¹</span> yet if a man sells a field and reserves to himself two trees, he retains some of the soil with them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the soil under the trunk. ');">²²</span> [This rule is valid] even according to R. Akiba who says that the vendor sells in a liberal spirit;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra 64b. ');">²³</span> [for] this applies only to a well and a cistern which do not exhaust the soil, but in the case of trees which do exhaust the soil,
