Yevamot 162

כולן ידלקו דברי ר' מאיר וחכ"א יעלו באחד ומאתים שהיה ר"מ אומר כל שדרכו לימנות מקדש וחכ"א אינו מקדש אלא ששה דברים בלבד ר"ע אומר שבעה

they must all be burned;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The forbidden kil'ayim cannot be neutralized. The reason is given infra. ');">¹</span> so R. Meir. The Sages, however, stated: They are neutralized in [a mixture of] two hundred and one.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., if the permitted food is two hundred times the quantity of the forbidden kil'ayim.

אלו הן אגוזי פרך ורמוני בדן וחביות סתומות וחלפי תרדין וקולחי כרוב ודלעת יונית ור"ע מוסיף אף ככרות של בעה"ב הראוין לערלה ערלה לכלאי הכרם כלאי הכרם

might be counted causes forfeiture,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., consecrates'. (Cf. R.V. and J.T., Deut. XXII, 9, be forfeited). All the mixture is forbidden on account of the importance (cf. supra p. 551, n. 11) of the forbidden object it contained, which can never be neutralized. ');">⁴</span> while the Sages are of the opinion that only six things cause forfeiture.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. supra n. 9. ');">⁵</span> R. Akiba said: Seven. They are the following: Crack-nuts,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [H] (cf. Jast. and Golds.). Rashi regards Perek as a place name.

קתני מיהת רישא תעלה אמר רבי חייא בריה דרב הונא בנימוחה

R. Johanan holds the view that the reading<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the Mishnah cited. ');">¹⁵</span> was, 'That which one is wont to count'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. supra p. 551, n. 11. Only such objects cannot be neutralized. Cakes of figs and pieces of meat, however, since some people do not always sell them singly but in bulk, are of less commercial importance and may, therefore, be neutralized. ');">¹⁶</span> while Resh Lakish holds the view that the reading was 'Whatsoever one is wont to count'.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. supra p. 551, nn. 7 and 8. As cakes of figs are sometimes sold by being counted singly. they are regarded as commercially important objects which, were they Pentateuchally forbidden, could never be neutralized. As it was stated, however, that a cake of figs of terumah may be neutralized, it follows, according to Resh Lakish, that terumah at the present time is only a Rabbinical, and not a Pentateuchal ordinance.

אי הכי מאי טעמא דר' יהודה

What [is the Baraitha about the] piece?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Mentioned by R. Johanan. Cf. supra p. 551. n. 5. ');">¹⁸</span> — It was taught: A piece of a levitically unclean sin-offering that was mixed up with a hundred pieces of clean sin-offerings and, similarly, a piece of levitically unclean shewbread<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Ex. XXV, 30. ');">¹⁹</span> that was mixed up with a hundred pieces of clean shewbread is neutralized.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The entire mixture is regarded as clean sin-offering meat and clean shewbread respectively. ');">²⁰</span> R. Judah said: It is not neutralized.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The reason is discussed infra. ');">²¹</span> If, however, a piece of a levitically clean sin offering was mixed up with a hundred pieces of clean and unconsecrated meat, and similarly if a piece of levitically clean shewbread was mixed up with a hundred pieces of clean unconsecrated bread, all agree that neutralization cannot take place.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Neutralization would have removed a Pentateuchal prohibition (that of eating consecrated food by a non-priest) from the piece of the sin-offering or from that of the shewbread. As, however, the entire mixture, which consists of pieces that are sometimes sold by number, may be eaten even without recourse to neutralization by a priest to whom it could be sold, though this might have to be done at a reduced cost, the law of neutralization, which is applied even in such circumstances whenever the prohibition is Rabbinical. as in the case of the cake of figs (supra). is not applied here where it is Pentateuchal. ');">²²</span> Now in the first clause, at any rate, it was stated that it 'is neutralized'!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though these objects are sometimes sold in units. This obviously proves that the reading was, as R. Johanan stated. 'That which one is wont to count. How, then, could Resh Lakish maintain that the reading was 'Whatsoever one is wont to count?

Judah's reason?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Why does he in such a case object to neutralization? ');">²⁵</span>
