###### Arakhin 24b:1
[Arakhin 24b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:1)

וְרַב סָבַר: סוֹף סוֹף לַבְּעָלִים מִי קָהָדְרָא? לְכֹהֲנִים הוּא דְּנָפְקָא, וְכֹהֲנִים מִשּׁוּלְחַן גָּבוֹהַּ קָא זָכוּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And Rav holds:** Even in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Shimon, no *a fortiori* inference may be drawn, as **ultimately, does** the field **return to the owner** during the Jubilee Year? It does not, but rather it **leaves** the possession of the Temple treasury and is given **to the priests.** Therefore, there is no basis for an *a fortiori* inference, as a field consecrated before the Jubilee Year does not return to the owner during the Jubilee Year, **and the priests receive** their portion **from the table of the Most High.**


###### Arakhin 24b:2
[Arakhin 24b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:2)

מַאי טַעְמָא דְּרַב? דְּאָמַר קְרָא ״וְאִם מִשְּׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל״, וּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל בַּכְּלָל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** for the opinion **of Rav** that consecration of a field during the Jubilee Year is effective and that the field must be redeemed for the full price of fifty *sela* per *beit kor*? **As the verse states: “If** he sanctifies his field **from the Jubilee Year,** according to your valuation it shall stand” (Leviticus 27:17). The verse indicates that a field is redeemed according to the valuation mentioned in the preceding verse, i.e., fifty *sela* per *beit kor*, **and the Jubilee Year** itself **is included** in this *halakha*, as the verse describes a period that begins “from the Jubilee Year,” which can be understood as including the Jubilee Year itself.


###### Arakhin 24b:3
[Arakhin 24b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:3)

וּשְׁמוּאֵל, מִי כְּתִיב ״וְאִם בִּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל״? ״מִשְּׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל״ כְּתִיב — מִשָּׁנָה שֶׁאַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And** how does **Shmuel** refute this claim? The Gemara explains that Shmuel would respond: **Is it written** in the verse: **If** he sanctifies his field **during the Jubilee Year?** No, instead: **“From the Jubilee Year,” is written,** indicating that the verse is referring to consecration beginning **from the year that is after the Jubilee** Year.


###### Arakhin 24b:4
[Arakhin 24b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:4)

בִּשְׁלָמָא לְרַב, הַיְינוּ דִּכְתִיב: ״אִם מִשְּׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל״ ״וְאִם אַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל״, אֶלָּא לִשְׁמוּאֵל, מַאי ״אַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל״? אַחַר אַחַר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Granted, according to Rav, this is** the meaning of that **which is written** in the verse: **“If** he sanctifies his field **from the Jubilee Year,** according to your valuation it shall stand. **But if** he sanctifies his field **after the Jubilee,** then the priest shall reckon for him the money according to the years that remain until the Jubilee Year, and a deduction shall be made from your valuation” (Leviticus 27:17–18). According to Rav’s interpretation, the second verse is referring to the year immediately following the Jubilee Year. **But according to Shmuel,** who maintains that the first verse is dealing with the year following the Jubilee Year, to **what** is the verse referring when it speaks of the year **“after the Jubilee”?** The Gemara responds: It is referring to the year **after** the year **after** the Jubilee Year.

[Arakhin 24b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:5)

מֵיתִיבִי: מַקְדִּישִׁין בֵּין לִפְנֵי הַיּוֹבֵל בֵּין לְאַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל, וּבִשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל עַצְמָהּ לֹא יַקְדִּישׁ, וְאִם הִקְדִּישׁ — אֵינָהּ קְדוֹשָׁה! אָמַר לְךָ רַב: אֵינָהּ קְדוֹשָׁה בְּגֵירוּעַ, אֲבָל קְדוֹשָׁה וְנוֹתְנִין חֲמִשִּׁים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara **raises an objection** to the opinion of Rav from the aforementioned *baraita*: **One may consecrate** an ancestral field **both before the Jubilee** Year **and after the Jubilee** Year. **But during the Jubilee Year itself, one may not consecrate** it, **and if he** nevertheless did **consecrate** it, that field **is not consecrated.** The Gemara explains: **Rav** could **say to you:** The *baraita* means that **it is not consecrated** in order to be redeemed **with a deduction. But** nevertheless it is **consecrated, and** one **gives** the full price of **fifty** *sela* per *beit kor* for its redemption.


###### Arakhin 24b:6
[Arakhin 24b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:6)

מִכְּלָל דְּלִפְנֵי הַיּוֹבֵל קְדוֹשָׁה לִיגָּאֵל בְּגֵירוּעַ, וְהָא רַב וּשְׁמוּאֵל דְּאָמְרִי תַּרְוַיְיהוּ: אֵין מַקְדִּישִׁין לִיגָּאֵל בְּגֵירוּעַ פָּחוֹת מִשְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara objects: One can conclude **by inference** from this response **that** according to Rav, when the *baraita* states that a field may be consecrated **before the Jubilee** Year, it means that it is **consecrated to be redeemed with a deduction. But** wasn’t it stated that **Rav and Shmuel both say** that **one may not consecrate** an ancestral field **to be redeemed with a deduction less than two years** before the Jubilee Year, but rather it is redeemed according to the total valuation of the field? If so, Rav could not have responded as suggested above.


###### Arakhin 24b:7
[Arakhin 24b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:7)

אָמַר לְךָ רַב: הָא מַנִּי? רַבָּנַן הִיא, וַאֲנָא דְּאָמְרִי כְּרַבִּי, דְּאָמַר: ״רִאשׁוֹן״ וְרִאשׁוֹן בַּכְּלָל, ״שְׁבִיעִי״ וּשְׁבִיעִי בַּכְּלָל; הָכָא נָמֵי ״בִּשְׁנַת״ וּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל בַּכְּלָל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rather, **Rav** could **say to you:** In accordance with **whose** opinion **is this** *baraita*? **It is** in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis,** who maintain that whenever the verse employs an expression such as: From the first day, the first day itself is not included. Accordingly, when the verse states: “If he sanctifies his field from the Jubilee Year,” the Jubilee Year is not included. **But I stated** my ruling that a field may be consecrated during the Jubilee Year **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi, **who says:** The verse states: “Whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel” (Exodus 12:15). It states: “From the **first** day,” **and** the **first** day **is included,** and it continues: “Until the **seventh** day,” **and** the **seventh** day is also **included. Here too,** the verse states: “If he sanctifies his field **from** the Jubilee **Year,” and the Jubilee Year is included.**


###### Arakhin 24b:8
[Arakhin 24b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:8)

אִי כְּרַבִּי, פּוּנְדְּיוֹן מַאי עֲבִידְתֵּיהּ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna (25a) teaches that when one redeems an ancestral field, he gives a *sela* and a *pundeyon*, which is equivalent to one forty-eighth of a *sela*, per *beit kor* for each year remaining until the Jubilee Year. This amount is close to one forty-ninth of the total valuation of fifty *sela*, and there are no tannaitic disputes with regard to this mishna. The Gemara therefore asks: **If** Rav holds **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi, that one may consecrate an ancestral field during the Jubilee Year, **what is the purpose of** the additional ***pundeyon*** that one gives for each remaining year until the Jubilee? If the Jubilee Year itself is included in the calculation, the total price of fifty *sela* should be divided evenly, i.e., one *sela* should be paid for each remaining year of the fifty years.


###### Arakhin 24b:9
[Arakhin 24b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:9)

וְכִי תֵּימָא לֵית לֵיהּ, וְהָתְנַן: הִקְדִּישׁ שְׁתַּיִם וְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים לִפְנֵי הַיּוֹבֵל, רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: אוֹמֵר אֲנִי נוֹתֵן סֶלַע וּפוּנְדְּיוֹן, רַבִּי כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה סְבִירָא לֵיהּ, דְּאָמַר: ״שְׁנַת חֲמִשִּׁים עוֹלָה לְכָאן וּלְכָאן״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And if you would say** that Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **does not** require the addition of a *pundeyon* for each remaining year, that is difficult: **But didn’t we learn** in a *baraita*: If one **consecrated** the field **two or three years before the Jubilee** Year, **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **says: I say** that **he gives a *sela* and a *pundeyon*** per year? The Gemara answers: **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda, who says** that the **fiftieth year is counted** both **for this** cycle **and for that** one, i.e., he maintains that the Jubilee Year is also considered the first year of the next cycle. Accordingly, there are actually only forty-nine years in a Jubilee cycle, and the total valuation of a field is therefore divided into forty-nine parts, which comes out to a *sela* and a *pundeyon* for each year.


###### Arakhin 24b:10
[Arakhin 24b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:10)

לִשְׁמוּאֵל, לֵימָא רַבִּי כְּרַבָּנַן סְבִירָא לֵיהּ, דְּאִי כְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה — סֶלַע וּשְׁתֵּי פוּנְדְּיוֹנוֹת מִיבְּעֵי לֵיהּ! עַל כׇּרְחָךְ לִשְׁמוּאֵל, רַבִּי כְּרַבָּנַן סְבִירָא לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara objects: **According to Shmuel,** who maintains that Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi concedes that an ancestral field may not be consecrated during the Jubilee Year, **let him say** that **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **the Rabbis,** who disagree with Rabbi Yehuda and hold that the fiftieth year is not counted as the first year of the following cycle. **Because if** he holds **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda,** then he **should require** one to pay **a *sela* and two *pundeyon*,** i.e., one forty-eighth of the total valuation of a field, per year, as there are only forty-eight years during which one may consecrate a field. The Gemara explains: This is indeed the case. **Perforce, according to Shmuel, Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **holds in accordance with** the opinion of **the Rabbis.**


###### Arakhin 24b:11
[Arakhin 24b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:11)

תָּא שְׁמַע: ״וְלֹא גּוֹאֲלִין אַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל פָּחוֹת מִשָּׁנָה״. בִּשְׁלָמָא לִשְׁמוּאֵל — ״לֹא גּוֹאֲלִין לְאַחַר יוֹבֵל פָּחוֹת מִשָּׁנָה״, אֶלָּא לְרַב — מַאי ״אַחַר יוֹבֵל שָׁנָה״?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara suggests: **Come** and **hear** a proof for the opinion of Shmuel from the mishna: **Nor may one redeem** an ancestral field that was consecrated **less than one year after the Jubilee** Year. **Granted, according to Shmuel,** who says that one may not consecrate an ancestral field during the Jubilee Year itself, and therefore if a field was consecrated during the Jubilee Year it requires no redemption at all, the mishna is teaching that **one may not redeem** a field **less than one year after** the **Jubilee,** i.e., until the year after the Jubilee, as it cannot be consecrated until then. **But according to Rav,** who maintains that a field may be consecrated and redeemed during the Jubilee Year itself, **what** does the mishna mean when it states that one may not redeem a field less than one **year after** the **Jubilee?**


###### Arakhin 24b:12
[Arakhin 24b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Arakhin/r/24b:12)

מִי סָבְרַתְּ אַחַר יוֹבֵל מַמָּשׁ? מַאי ״אַחַר יוֹבֵל״?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: **Do you maintain** that the mishna is referring to the **actual** year **after** the **Jubilee** Year? This is not the case; rather, to **what** is the phrase: **After** the **Jubilee** Year, actually referring?
