הכא במאי עסקינן דיתיב עובד כוכבים אמסחתא
- We must suppose in this case that the gentile was sitting by the butcher's stall.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And this in itself is a manifest indication to all that the gentile has a share in the business.');"><sup>1</sup></span>
דכותה גבי כהן דיתיב אמסחתא אמאי צריך לרשום
But then in the case of the priest we must also suppose the same circumstances, that he sat by the stall; why then is it necessary to indicate [the partnership] by a sign? - Because people might say that he is only buying meat.
דאמרי
Then in the case of a gentile, too, people might say that he is only buying meat, will they not? - We must suppose in this case that the gentile was sitting by the till.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is even stronger evidence that the gentile is a partner.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
בשרא קא זבין
Then in the case of the priest we must suppose the same circumstances, that he sat by the till, why is it necessary to indicate by a sign? - Because people might say that he merely trusted him [the priest].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To guard the till, but it does not necessarily imply that the priest has a share in the business.');"><sup>3</sup></span>
בשרא קא זבין
If you wish, however, I can say, a gentile [partner] usually makes himself heard.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The circumstances were, as suggested at first, that the gentile was sitting by the butcher's stall, and so too in the case of the priest. But there is this distinction: a gentile partner would not look on in silence but would interfere in the business done by his Jewish partner, protesting from time to time at the price his partner allows, so that it would be obvious to all that the gentile has a share in the business. This, however, is not the case with a priest who is a partner in the business.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
דכותה גבי כהן דיתיב אכספתא אמאי צריך לרשום
This shows that it is evident to all;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That the animal is an animal unfit for sacrifice and has been redeemed. This is indicated, no doubt, by the fact that the meat is not sold in the market place like ordinary meat.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
אמרי
but we have learnt: Consecrated animals that have become unfit for sacrifice may [after they have been redeemed] be sold in the market, may be slaughtered in the market, and may be weighed out by the pound!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'by the litra' (the weight of one pound) . It is evident from this Mishnah (Bek. V, 1) that consecrated animals which have been redeemed are treated in every way like ordinary animals.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
המוני הימניה
- R'Adda B'Ahabah suggested before R'Papa that our case refers only to those animals that are sold in the house.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' E.g., the Firstling and Cattle Tithe (cf. Bek. V, 1) . In other words, the dictum of the Master that there is no need for any indication in the case of consecrated animals that became unfit refers only to the Firstling and the Cattle Tithe, for these may not, under any circumstances, be sold in the market but only in the house.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
פסולי המוקדשין נמכרים באיטליז ונשחטים באיטליז ונשקלים בליטרא
Now this means, does it not, that he is exempt from the cheeks but liable to give the others; likewise that he is exempt from the shoulder but liable to give the others; and so also that he is Exempt from the maw but liable to give the others? - No, it means, he is exempt from all the dues.
באותן הנמכרים בתוך הבית
Furthermore, it has been expressly taught: [If he said.] 'The head shall be mine and the rest yours', or even 'One hundredth part of the head [shall be mine]', he is exempt from giving the cheeks but he is liable to give the others! - This is surely a refutation of the view of Hiyya B'Rab.
אפי' שותף באחת מהן פטור מכולן
There are twenty-four priestly endowments, all bestowed upon Aaron and his sons first in general terms<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Num. XVIII, 8: All the hallowed things of the children of Israel unto thee have I given them.');"><sup>12</sup></span>
היד שלי וכולה שלך אפי' אחד ממאה ביד פטור
Whosoever observes them is as though he observes [the whole Torah which is expounded by] generalizations and specifications and [the sacrifices which were confirmed by] a covenant of salt,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Lev. II. 13.');"><sup>15</sup></span>
מאי לאו פטור מן הלחי וחייב בכולן פטור מן הזרוע וחייב בכולן פטור מן הקבה וחייב בכולן
And these are they: Ten [that are to be eaten] within the precincts of the Temple, four [that are enjoyed] in Jerusalem, and ten [that are given to them] within the borders [of the Land of Israel].
לא פטור מכולן
The ten [that are to be eaten] within the precincts of the Temple are: the sin-offering of an animal the sin-offering of a bird, the guilt-offering for a known sin, the guilt-offering for a doubtful sin, the peace-offerings of the congregation.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Offered on the Feast of Weeks, cf. Lev. XXIII, 19.');"><sup>16</sup></span>
אמר רב חסדא
The four [that are enjoyed] in Jerusalem are: the firstling, the firstfruits, that which is taken away as a heave-offering from the thank-offering<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc., the breast and the thigh and the four loaves; cf. ibid. VII, 11-14.');"><sup>21</sup></span>
עשרים וארבע מתנות כהונה הן וכולן ניתנו לאהרן ולבניו בכלל ופרט וברית מלח
and the hides of the [most] holy sacrifices.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The hides of burnt-offerings, sin-offerings and guilt-offerings; cf. Lev. VII, 8. The hides of the lesser holy sacrifices belong to the donors; v. Zeb. 103b.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
כל המקיימן כאילו קיים בכלל ופרט וברית מלח וכל העובר עליהן כאילו עובר על בכלל ופרט וברית מלח
The ten [that are given to them] within the borders [of the Land of Israel] are: the terumah, the terumah of the tithe, the dough-offering, the first of the fleece, the [priestly] dues, the redemption of the [firstborn] son,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the prescribed sum of five shekels; cf. Num. XVIII, 15-16.');"><sup>24</sup></span>
חטאת וחטאת העוף אשם ודאי ואשם תלוי וזבחי שלמי צבור ולוג שמן של מצורע ושתי הלחם ולחם הפנים ושירי מנחות ומנחת העומר
and [the restitution for] robbery committed upon a proselyte.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the principal and the additional fifth, cf. Num. V, 7, 8. This list is also to be found in B.K. 110b, Sonc. ed., p. 645-6. Part of this list is a found supra 131a.');"><sup>28</sup></span>
הבכורה והבכורים ומורם מן התודה ומאיל נזיר ועורות קדשים
thought that since 'the [priestly] dues' were counted as one [item in the list], they ar considered one;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that he that is exempt from one portion is exempt from all.');"><sup>30</sup></span>
תרומה ותרומת מעשר וחלה וראשית הגז ומתנות ופדיון הבן ופדיון פטר חמור ושדה אחוזה ושדה חרמים וגזל הגר
Surely they are counted as one item because they are similar to each other; then in this case too, they are counted as one item only because they are similar to each other.
ולא היא אטו מורם מתודה ואיל נזיר דקא חשיב להו כחדא משום דחדא נינהו
Do we have regard to the part of the animal on which the obligation rests and this part belongs to the Israelite,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' At the time of slaughtering when the obligation to give the portions falls due the Israelite is the owner of the head of the animal. And since the head belongs to the Israelite he is liable to give the two cheeks to the priest.');"><sup>32</sup></span>
אלא כיון דדמיין להדדי חשיב להו כחדא ה"נ כיון דדמיין להדדי חשיב להו כחדא
or do we have regard to the major portion of the animal and this belongs to the priest? - Come and hear: If a gentile or a priest delivered sheep to an Israelite to shear them, he<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sc., the Israelite.');"><sup>33</sup></span>
בתר חיובא אזלינן וחיובא גבי ישראל הוא
In this respect the law of the shoulder and the two cheeks and the maw is more strict than the law of the first of the fleece.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For if an Israelite bought the portions of an animal from a priest from which the priestly dues are taken he is bound to give the dues; hence it is clear that the obligation rests upon the part of the animal bought.');"><sup>34</sup></span>
