עָרֵב דְּבֵית דִּין הוּא דְּלָא בָּעֵי קִנְיָן, הָא בְּעָלְמָא בָּעֵי קִנְיָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It is** only **a guarantor** who undertakes a loan guarantee **in** the presence of **a court who does not require an act of acquisition; this** indicates that **generally,** a guarantor **requires an act of acquisition** in order to be obligated to pay.

וְהִלְכְתָא: עָרֵב בִּשְׁעַת מַתַּן מָעוֹת – לֹא בָּעֵי קִנְיָן, אַחַר מַתַּן מָעוֹת – בָּעֵי קִנְיָן. עָרֵב דְּבֵית דִּין – לָא בָּעֵי קִנְיָן; דִּבְהָהִיא הֲנָאָה דִּמְהֵימַן לֵיהּ – גָּמַר וּמְשַׁעְבֵּד לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara concludes: **And the *halakha*** is that **a guarantor** who accepts responsibility for the loan **at the time of the giving of the money does not require an act of acquisition;** but if he accepts responsibility **after the giving of the money,** he **requires an act of acquisition.** Moreover, **a guarantor** who undertakes a loan guarantee **in** the presence of a **court does not require an act of acquisition, as** in return **for that gratification that** he experiences in that the court **trusts him, he resolves to obligate himself.**
