Question: Are Kodshim forbidden to an Arel?

You cannot learn from Pesach, for breaking a bone is not [forbidden for other Kodshim, only for Pesach]?

You cannot learn [Kodshim] from Terumah, for this would be Lamed (something learned from elsewhere) from Lamed (R. Yishmael learns Terumah from Pesach)!

Answer: In the end, you will learn from [a Gezeirah Shavah] Mimenu-Mimenu. Just like Mimenu said about Pesach, an Arel is disqualified [from eating it], also Mimenu said about Kodshim, an Arel is disqualified.

Question: Are Kodshim forbidden to an Onen?

Answer: We learn from Mimenu-Mimenu. Just like Mimenu said about Ma'aser, an Onen is disqualified, also Mimenu said about Pesach, an Onen is disqualified.

Question: Is [the Gezeirah Shavah Toshav v'Sachir] free [for R. Yishmael to learn from it, above]?! These words are expounded, like [the coming] Beraisa!

(Beraisa) Question: "Toshav" is [an Eved Ivri] acquired permanently (i.e. until Yovel). 'Sachir' is an Eved Ivri acquired for (six) years. The Torah should say [only] that a Toshav (slave of a Kohen) does not eat [Terumah]. Why did it write also Sachir?

[Had it not written Sachir, would I say that] one acquired permanently does not eat, all the more so one acquired for [six] years eats?!

Answer: If so (had it written only "Toshav"), I would have said that this is one acquired for years [but one acquired permanently, he eats]!

Now that it says [also] 'Sachir', this teaches that Toshav is one acquired permanently (even he does not eat).

Answer (R. Masyah): (An Eved Ivri is a full Yisrael. Surely he is obligated in Korban Pesach. Toshav v'Sachir written about Pesach must refer to a Nochri worker.) Since it is written "v'Chol Arel Lo Yochal Bo v'Chol Ben Nechar Arel Lo Yochal Bo" (I already know that a Nochri may not eat, both Toshav and Sachir are extra), so it is as if [the Gezeirah Shavah] is free on two sides (also Toshav v'Sachir written about Terumah. Therefore we learn from the Gezeirah Shavah, and do not challenge it.)

Question: According to R. Akiva (who says that "Ish Ish" forbids an Arel to Terumah), why was Toshav v'Sachir written about Terumah?

Answer: It is like R. Heila taught in the name of R. Yosa - [it teaches about a Kohen who] bought Arel slaves from a Nochri on condition not to circumcise them. Even if he circumcised them, they do not eat Terumah.

(R. Yosi citing R. Yochanan and Shimon bar Ba citing R. Yochanan): If [a Kohen] bought Arel slaves from a Nochri on condition to circumcise them, and they retracted (they refuse to circumcise), he bears them for 12 months. If they accepted [to circumcise], this is fine. If not, one may sell them to a Nochri.

(R. Yitzchak bar Nachman citing R. Yehoshua ben Levi): A case occurred in which one bought a city of Arel slaves from a Nochri on condition to circumcise them, and they retracted. He asked Rabanan;

They told him, bear them for 12 months. If they accept, this is fine. If not, everything is like the local custom. (He may sell them.)

(R. Yitzchak bar Nachman): R. Yehoshua ben Levi was in Ladukiya, and R. Yudan ha'Nasi was there. [R. Yudan] wanted to rise early to leave [the city. R. Yehoshua] told him, wait - tomorrow we will immerse this female convert.

Question (R. Ze'ira, to R. Yitzchak bar Nachman): Why [did R. Yehoshua ben Levi ask R. Yudan to stay, and not immerse her at night]? Was it due to the Chacham's (R. Yudan's) honor (not to exert him at night), or because we do not immerse a convert at night?

Answer (R. Yitzchak bar Nachman): We do not immerse a convert at night.

A case came in front of R. Yosi - may we immerse converts at night? They did not give a ruling.

An Eved Toshav (he stipulated to keep his seven Mitzvos, but not to circumcise) - one may keep him forever. One who said that he will be a Ger (accept Mitzvos), and [retracted, and wants to be] a Toshav - he is like a Nochri in every way.

(R. Shmuel bar Chiyah bar Yehudah citing R. Chaninah): One who said that he will be a Ger, and [now wants to be] a Toshav - one bears him for 12 months. If he returned [to accept to be a Ger], this is fine. If not, he is like a Nochri in every way. (We explained this like RIDVAZ.)

(R. Shmuel bar Chiyah bar Yehudah citing R. Chaninah): A Ger Toshav must accept in order that [he will observe all Mitzvos, just] he may eat Neveilos.

(R. Heila): People will say that the matters are like they are written.

Question: What does it mean 'people will say that the matters are like they are written'?

Answer (R. Yosi bar Chaninah): "Lo Sochlu Chol Nevelah la'Ger Asher bi'Sh'arecha Titnenah va'Achalah."

Some teach that a Ger Toshav, we do not accept him until he accepts all the Mitzvos written in the Torah;

Some teach that a Ger Toshav, we do not accept him until he denies his idolatry.

(R. Ba citing R. Chiya bar Ashi): We do not accept a Ger Toshav him until he denies his idolatry.

(R. Ze'ira): From all of these opinions, [he is not a Ger Toshav] until he denies idolatry like a Nochri (he may not serve it, but he need not destroy it).

Question: If not [for R. Ze'ira's teaching], what would we say?

Answer: Since he is commanded about idolatry, he cannot be Mevatel it (just like a Yisrael cannot be Mevatel it).

Question: Are Nochrim not commanded about idolatry, and [even so] they can be Mevatel it?!

Answer (R. Yosi): [We need R. Ze'ira's teaching,] lest you say that [a Ger Toshav] is like a Yisrael in three ways - [we are commanded] not to withhold wages from him, not to afflict him, and he is exiled (if he killed b'Shogeg) like a Yisrael. [One might have thought that] he cannot be Mevatel [it, like a Yisrael]. Therefore he needed to say that he can be Mevatel it. (His Bitul is based on intellect, and not due to a Mitzvah to destroy it. We explained this based on MESHECH CHACHMAH Devarim 7:5.)

Question: Who is the Tana who holds that withholding wages [applies to a Ger Toshav]?

Answer: It is R. Yosi bei Rebbi Yehudah;

(Beraisa): "Lo Sa'asok" applies to a Ger Toshav. R. Yosi bei Rebbi Yehudah says so;

R. Yehudah says, a Ger Toshav on Shabbos is like a Yisrael on Yom Tov. Just like a Yisrael on Yom Tov may bake and cook and he is forbidden all Melachah [not for the sake of food], so is a Ger Toshav on Shabbos.

R. Yosi says, a Ger Toshav on Shabbos is like a Yisrael on Chol ha'Mo'ed. Just like a Yisrael on Chol ha'Mo'ed may [do Melachah of Devar ha'Avud, i.e. to avoid a loss, e.g.] gather wood from the field, and he is forbidden all Melachah [not Devar ha'Avud] in the field, so is a Ger Toshav on Shabbos.

R. Shimon says, a Ger Toshav on Shabbos is like a Yisrael on other days of the year. Just like a Yisrael on other days of the year may plow, plant and reap, so a Ger Toshav on Shabbos.

(Rav Ada citing Rav Hamnuna citing Rav Ada bar Achavah citing Rav): The Halachah follows R. Shimon.
