8)[line 36]äðééúï ìáòìéíHANAYASAN L'VE'ALIM- their value belongs to the owner (in contrast to Hekdesh; see next entry). In the case of Bechor, the Kohen is considered to be the owner, and in the case of Ma'aser, the Yisrael is considered to be the owner. We prefer to uphold the respect due to Kodshim and prohibit these types of Kodshim from being sold in a public marketplace and from being weighed in the manner in which Chulin is weighed, and we are not concerned that the animals will be sold for less than their value (since the only one suffering a loss is their owner, and not Hekdesh).

9)[line 36]äðééúï ìä÷ãùHANAYASAN L'HEKDESH- their value belongs to Hekdesh. Therefore, we want them to be sold at the highest possible price so that Hekdesh will benefit, and for this purpose we even compromise on the respect due to Kodshim (and permit them to be sold in the public marketplace and weighed with ordinary weights).
