אמר אביי אי לאו דאוקמיה רבי אושעיא לההיא בממנה זונה על פסחו ורבי היא הוה מוקמינא לה לההיא בקדשים קלים ואליבא דרבי יוסי הגלילי דאמר קדשים קלים ממון בעלים הוא

Said Abaye: Had not R'Oshaia related that [Mishnah]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. infra in reference to a man who gave a sanctified animal to a harlot, where it is implied that but for a certain verse this would disqualify the animal from being offered as a sacrifice (v. Deut. XXIII, 19) .

אבל בפסח לא משייר איניש במעות ודאי משייר איניש דמעיקרא כי מפריש להו אדעתא דהכי מפריש להו

and in accordance with Rabbi,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Rabbi rules infra that if a man needs money e.g.. for clothes, he may register other people with him for his Passover-offering and spend his money so acquired on clothes. Thus he holds that an animal sanctified for a Passover offering is entirely his private property; consequently he could also render it forbidden (but for the verse) by making it a harlot's hire.');"><sup>3</sup></span> I would have related it to sacrifices of lesser sanctity<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. supra p. 108, n. 2.

והא רבי היא ומשום הכי מעות שבידו חולין (דבפסח לא משייר איניש) ובמעות ודאי משייר איניש

and in accordance with R'Jose the Galilean who maintained: sacrifices of lesser sanctity are their owner's property. But [on Rabbi's view] a man does not leave anything over [unconsecrated] in the Passover-offering, yet he certainly does leave over in the case of money, because when he set it aside [for a Passover-offering] in the first place, he did so with this intention.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., when Rabbi permits the owner to spend the money on clothes etc., it is not because he holds that when a man consecrates an animal for a Passover-offering he leaves part of it unconsecrated, as it were, so that if a man gives him consecrated money for a share in the sacrifice the sanctity of the money is transferred to that unconsecrated portion of the animal, while the money itself thereby becomes hullin and can be expended on anything. The reason is on the contrary that when a man consecrates money for the Passover-offering he leaves that money partly unconsecrated, as it were, in the sense that it automatically reverts to hullin when he gives it in payment for a share in a sacrifice, and in fact, the money is technically to be regarded as a gift, not as payment at all; Hence the vendor can use it as he pleases.');"><sup>5</sup></span>

וההיא דקא מוקי לה רבי אושעיא כרבי לא מוקמינא ליה אנא כרבי דבפסח לא משייר איניש (ובמעות משייר איניש דמעיקרא כי מפריש להו אדעתא דהכי מפריש להו

והא ליכא לאוקמי כרבי יוסי דהא תני בה והמוכר עולתו ושלמיו לא עשה ולא כלום

and for that reason the money he holds is hullin, as a man certainly leaves over [something] of money [unconsecrated]. Again, what R'Oshaia explains as the view of Rabbi, I do not explain as [the view of] Rabbi, for a man does not leave over anything [unconsecrated] of the Passover-offering.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Hence on Rabbi's view if he registers a harlot it does not prohibit it, since nothing at all of the animal is his in that sense.');"><sup>8</sup></span>

והשתא דאוקמיה רבי אושעיא לההיא בממנה זונה על פסחו ורבי היא ש"מ דסבירא לי' אפילו בפסחו משייר איניש

But this [present Baraitha] cannot be established as agreeing with R'Jose, since it is taught therein, 'and he who sells his burnt-offering and his peace-offering has effected nothing.'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Whereas on R. Jose's view that sacrifices of lesser sanctity are the owner's personal property, the sale of the peace-offering is valid.');"><sup>9</sup></span> Now however that R'Oshaia related that [Mishnah] to the case of a man who registers a harlot in his Passover-offering and in accordance with Rabbi, it follows that he<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Viz., Rabbi, in R.

[if he gave her] birds of hullin, they are forbidden.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To be offered henceforth as a sacrifice.');"><sup>13</sup></span> Though [the reverse] would have been logical: if with consecrated animals, which a blemish disqualifies, yet [the interdict of] 'hire' or 'price'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V.

10

אלא טעמא דכתב רחמנא נדר הא לאו הכי הוה אמינא מוקדשים חל איסור אתנן עליהן והא אין אדם אוסר דבר שאינו שלו

Therefore it is stated, 'for any vow,' which includes birds. [But] now you might argue a minori in respect of consecrated animals: if with birds, though a blemish does not disqualify them, yet 'hire' and 'price' fall upon them, then with consecrated animals, which a blemish disqualifies, is it not logical that 'hir and 'price' fall upon them?

א"ר אושעיא בממנה זונה על פסחו ורבי היא

Therefore it is stated, 'for any vow [neder]', which excludes that which is [already] vowed [nadar].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The hire of a harlot cannot be vowed as a sacrifice; but a consecrated animal has already been vowed.');"><sup>16</sup></span> Now the reason is because the Divine Law wrote 'vow'; but otherwise I would say: The interdict of 'hire' falls upon consecrated animals: but surely a man cannot prohibit that which is not his? - Said R'Oshaia: It refers to the case of a man registering a harlot for his Passover offering, this being according to Rabbi.
