והרי מעשר דהוא נפדה ואילו לקוח בכסף מעשר אינו נפדה דתנן הלקוח בכסף מעשר שנטמא יפדה ר' יהודה אומר יקבר (נטמא אין לא נטמא לא)

Yet there is the [second] tithe, which itself can be redeemed, and yet what is purchased with the [redemption] money of tithe cannot be redeemed.

התם לא אלימא קדושתיה למיתפס פדיוניה

For we learnt: If that which was purchased with the [redemption] money of the [second] tithe became defiled, it must be redeemed.

R'Judah said: It must be buried!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Second tithe was a tithe of the produce which was to be taken to Jerusalem and eaten there by its owner. If it was too burdensome, he could redeem it, take the redemption money to Jerusalem, and expend it there (Deut. XIV, 22-27) . - Thus according to R. Judah what was brought with the redemption money is stricter than the original tithe, for the original could be redeemed, whereas this cannot.');"><sup>1</sup></span>

תמורה מכח קדשים קא אתיא וקדשים מכח חולין קאתי

- There the sanctity is not strong enough to take hold of its redemption.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' An object must possess a certain degree of sanctity before it can be transferred to something else, whereas the sanctity of this is too light to permit such transfer. Hence R. Judah's ruling, though strict, arises out of the lesser, not the greater, sanctity of what is brought.');"><sup>2</sup></span>

הרי פסח דהוא אינו טעון סמיכה ונסכים ותנופת חזה ושוק ואילו מותר דידיה טעון סמיכה ונסכים ותנופת חזה ושוק

Yet there is the case of a substitute: whereas [sacrificial] sanctity does not fall upon an animal with a permanent blemish, it [substitution] does fall upon an animal with a permanent blemish?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If a man dedicates a blemished animal for a sacrifice, it merely receives monetary sanctity, and can be redeemed, whereupon it becomes hullin');"><sup>3</sup></span>

[which teaches that] the receiving of its blood too must be in the north.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Sh.

הניחא אי סבירא לן יצא לידון בדבר החדש איהו הוא דלא גמר מכללו

Now, does that come for the present purpose? Surely it is required for what was taught: If anything was included in a general proposition, and was then singled out for a new law, you cannot restore it to [the terms of] its general proposition, unless the Writ explicitly restores it to [the terms of] its general proposition. How so? [Scripture saith,] And he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin-offering and the guilt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin-offering so is the guilt-offe it is the priest's; it is most holy. Now, 'as the sin-offering so is the guilt-offering' need not be said.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For if it is to teach that it is slaughtered in the north, that follows from the first half of the verse. While if it teaches that the sprinkling of it blood and its consumption are the same as those of the sin-offering, that too is superfluous, since it is already covered by the general regulations prescribed for all guilt-offerings in Lev. VII, 1-10.');"><sup>15</sup></span> Why then is 'as the sin-offering so is the guilt-offering' said? Because a leper's guilt-offering was singled out an made subject to a new law, viz. , that in respect of the thumb of the hand, the big toe of the foot, and the righ ear,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Ibid. XIV, 14 seq. These rites are absent in the case of other guilt-offerings.');"><sup>16</sup></span> you might think that it does not require the presentation of [its] blood and emurim at the altar; therefore Scripture says, 'as the sin-offering so is the guilt-offering': as the sin-offering requires the presentation of [its] blood and emurim at the altar, so does a leper's guilt-offering require the presentation o blood and emurim at the 'altar?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is the example: since a leper's guilt-offering was singled out for special treatment, the general laws of guilt-offerings could not apply to it without a text specifically intimating that they do. - Thus the text is utilised for this purpose, and not to teach that the north is indispensable.');"><sup>17</sup></span> - If so,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That that is its only purpose.');"><sup>18</sup></span> let it be written in the latter [passage]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In the passage on leprosy.');"><sup>19</sup></span> and not in the former. Now, that is well if we hold that when anything is made the subject of a new law, it cannot be learnt from its general law,
