ט דקתני סיפא מת אחד מהן רבי טרפון אומר יחלוקו ר' עקיבא אומר המוציא מחבירו עליו הראיה ואי סלקא דעתך משמנין ביניהן דכי הדדי פליגי הכי נמי ליפלגי גבי הדדי אלא מאי משמנין שומן יהא ביניהן דאמר ליה לכהן אייתי ראיה דבכור הוא ושקיל:

So although it had not reached the priest's hands, it is as if it had reached his hands and he had sold it to the Israelite when blemished.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And then the priest received something in return, i.e the other animal, and a priest who sold a firstling to an Israelite is, according to the ruling (supra 12b) exempt from the priest's gifts.');"><sup>12</sup></span> Said R'Eleazar: All [the authorities concerned] agree that an animal which is a doubtful first-born, since the priest has [a beast] in its stead,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Where for example a female and a male are born and there is a doubt as to the first-birth, since the priest received nothing in its place, the animal grazes until it is blemished and is therefore liable for the priest's gifts, for in such a case you cannot argue that it is as if it had been acquired by the priest and subsequently sold to the Israelite, as the priest received nothing in return.');"><sup>13</sup></span> is liable for the priest's gifts. [You say] all the authorities concerned. No whose view does this represent? R'Jose's! But is not this obvious?
