Introduction edit
Hebrew Text edit
- כל הנעשה דמים באחר,
- כיון שזכה זה, נתחייב זה בחליפיו.
- כיצד?
- החליף שור בפרה, או חמור בשור,
- כיון שזכה זה, נתחייב זה בחליפיו.
- רשות הגבוה בכסף,
- ורשות ההדיוט בחזקה.
- אמירתי לגבוה כמסירתי להדיוט.
English Translation edit
- Anything which acts as currency for something else,
- once this one comes into possession, this one is obligated for its exchange.
- How is it?
- If one exchanges a bull for a cow, or a donkey for a bull,
- once this one comes into possession, this one is obligated for its exchange.
- The high authority [acquires] by money,
- and the lay authority [acquires] by establishment of possession.
- Speech to the high [authority] is like transfer to the lay [authority].
