USING WORDS OF BOTH A GIFT AND AN INHERITANCE (Yerushalmi Halachah 4 Daf 23b)

כתב בין בתחילה בין באמצע בין בסוף משם מתנה דבריו קיימין.

(a)

The Mishnah taught: If (the deathly ill person) wrote at the beginning, the middle or the end that it is a gift, it takes effect.

אמר רבי הושעיה יינתן לאיש פלוני ירושה שהורשתיו יירש איש פלוני מתנה שהורשתיו יירש פלוני ירושה שנתתי לו.

(b)

R. Hoshiya: The Mishnah means that it takes effect with any of the following wordings (with the word 'give' always implying a gift)- "Give to Ploni an inheritance that I have bequeathed"; "Ploni should inherit a gift that I have bequeathed"' or "Ploni should inherit the inheritance that I have given him".
