אַגְבַּהּ עִישּׂוּר נִכְסֵי, אֲפִילּוּ מֵאִצְטְרוֹבְלֵי דְרֵיחַיִים. אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי: כִּי הֲוֵינַן בֵּי רַב כָּהֲנָא, מַגְבֵּינַן אֲפִילּוּ מֵעַמְלָא דְבָתֵּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**collect for her one-tenth of** her father’s **estate,** in keeping with the rabbinic ordinance that states that if a man dies, his sons are obligated to give his daughter a tenth of his landed properties as a dowry, and collect it **even from** his immovable **lower millstones,** as they too are considered landed property. **Rav Ashi said: When we were** students **in Rav Kahana’s house we would collect** for this purpose **even from the rent of houses;** since this money is earned from real estate, it too has the status of landed property and is included in the dowry calculations.

**מַתְנִי׳** הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הֶחָצֵר – מָכַר בָּתִּים, בּוֹרוֹת, שִׁיחִין וּמְעָרוֹת; אֲבָל לֹא אֶת הַמִּטַּלְטְלִין. בִּזְמַן שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ: ״הוּא וְכׇל מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכוֹ״ – הֲרֵי כּוּלָּן מְכוּרִין. בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ – לֹא מָכַר לֹא אֶת הַמֶּרְחָץ, וְלֹא אֶת בֵּית הַבַּד שֶׁבְּתוֹכָהּ. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הֶחָצֵר – לֹא מָכַר אֶלָּא אֲוִירָהּ שֶׁל חָצֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** One **who sells a courtyard** without specifying what is included in the sale **has sold** with it **the houses, pits, ditches, and caves** found in the courtyard, **but** he has **not** sold **the movable property. When** the seller **says to** the buyer: I am selling you **it and everything that is in it, all these** components **are sold** along with the courtyard, even the movable property. **Both** in **this** case, where he executes the sale without specification, **and** in **that** case, where he adds the phrase that includes the movable property, **he has not sold the bathhouse, nor** has he sold **the olive press that is in** the courtyard, as each is an entity with a discrete purpose and not an integral part of the courtyard. **Rabbi Eliezer says:** One **who sells a courtyard** without specifying what is included in the sale **has sold only the airspace,** i.e., the open space, **of the courtyard,** but nothing found in the courtyard, not even the houses.

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הֶחָצֵר – מָכַר בָּתִּים הַחִיצוֹנִים, וּבָתִּים הַפְּנִימִים, וּבֵית הַחוֹלְסָאוֹת. חֲנוּיוֹת פְּתוּחוֹת לְתוֹכָהּ – נִמְכָּרוֹת עִמָּהּ, וְשֶׁאֵין פְּתוּחוֹת לְתוֹכָהּ – אֵין נִמְכָּרוֹת עִמָּהּ. פְּתוּחוֹת לְכָאן וּלְכָאן – [אֵלּוּ] וְאֵלּוּ נִמְכָּרוֹת עִמָּהּ. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הֶחָצֵר – לֹא מָכַר אֶלָּא מִילוּסָא שֶׁל חָצֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **The Sages taught** in a *baraita* (*Tosefta*, 3:1): One **who sells a courtyard has sold** with it **the outer houses** that can be accessed directly from the courtyard, **and the inner houses** that can be entered only via the outer houses, **and the area of the sand fields [*uveit haḥolsaot*].** As for the **stores,** those **that open into** the courtyard **are sold** along **with it;** those that **do not open into it,** but rather open into the public domain, even if they are located in the courtyard, **are not sold** along **with it;** and those that **open** both **into this** courtyard **and into that** other public domain are grouped together with those that open into this courtyard alone, and both **these and those are sold with it. Rabbi Eliezer says:** One **who sells a courtyard** without specifying what is included in the sale **has sold only the open space of the courtyard.**

אָמַר מָר: פְּתוּחוֹת לְכָאן וּלְכָאן – נִמְכָּרוֹת עִמָּהּ. וְהָא תָּנֵי רַבִּי חִיָּיא: אֵין נִמְכָּרוֹת עִמָּהּ! לָא קַשְׁיָא; הָא דְּרוֹב תַּשְׁמִישְׁתַּיְיהוּ לְגוֹ, הָא דְּרוֹב תַּשְׁמִישְׁתַּיְיהוּ לְבַר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Master said** in the *baraita*: Stores that **open** both **into this** courtyard **and into that** public domain **are sold** along **with** the courtyard. The Gemara raises an objection: **But didn’t Rabbi Ḥiyya teach** a *baraita* that states that such stores **are not sold with** the courtyard? The Gemara answers that this is **not difficult: This** *baraita*, that teaches that the stores are sold along with the courtyard, is referring to a case **where the majority of their use is from within,** i.e., the stores are mainly accessed from within the courtyard, while **that** *baraita* of Rabbi Ḥiyya, that teaches that the stores are not sold along with the courtyard, is referring to a case **where the majority of their use is from without,** i.e., the stores are accessed mainly from the public domain.

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הֶחָצֵר – לֹא מָכַר אֶלָּא אֲוִירָהּ שֶׁל חָצֵר. אָמַר רַבָּה: אִי דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ: ״דֵּירְתָּא״ – דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דְּבָתֵּי מַשְׁמַע. כִּי פְּלִיגִי – דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ: ״דָּרְתָּא״; מָר סָבַר: תַּרְבִּיצָא מַשְׁמַע, וּמָר סָבַר: בָּתֵּי מַשְׁמַע.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna teaches, and it was similarly taught in the *baraita*, that **Rabbi Eliezer says:** One **who sells a courtyard has sold only the airspace of the courtyard,** and he has sold nothing found in the courtyard, not even the houses. To clarify the disagreement between the unattributed opinion in the mishna and Rabbi Eliezer, **Rabba said: If** the seller **said to** the buyer that he is selling him ***dirata*,** i.e., the place of residence, **everyone agrees that he means** to sell **the houses** and that they are also included in the sale. **When they disagree,** it is **where he said to him** that he is selling him ***darta*,** i.e., the courtyard. One **Sage,** Rabbi Eliezer, **holds** that **he means** to sell only **the garden,** i.e., the space between the houses, **and** one **Sage,** the unattributed first opinion in the mishna, **holds** that **he means** to sell also **the houses.**

אִיכָּא דְּאָמְרִי, אָמַר רַבָּה: אִי דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ ״דָּרְתָּא״ – דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי דְּבָתֵּי מַשְׁמַע. כִּי פְּלִיגִי, דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ: ״חָצֵר״; מָר סָבַר: חָצֵר – אַוֵּירָא מַשְׁמַע, וּמָר סָבַר: כַּחֲצַר הַמִּשְׁכָּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Some state** a different version of this discussion, according to which **Rabba says: If** the seller **says to** the buyer that he is selling him ***darta*, everyone agrees that he means** to sell also **the houses** and that they are included in the sale. **When they disagree,** it is **where he said to him** that he is selling him the ***ḥatzer*,** the Hebrew term for courtyard. One **Sage,** Rabbi Eliezer, **holds** that when he says ***ḥatzer*, he means** to sell him only **the airspace,** i.e., the open space of the courtyard itself, **and** one **Sage,** the unattributed first opinion in the mishna, **holds** that houses are also included in the sale, just **as the courtyard of the Tabernacle** included the Tabernacle itself.


###### Bava Batra 67a:7
[Bava Batra 67a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Bava%20Batra/r/67a:7)

וְאָמַר רַבָּה אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: מָכַר לוֹ חוֹלְסִית וּמְצוּלָה; הֶחְזִיק בַּחוֹלְסִית – לֹא קָנָה מְצוּלָה, הֶחְזִיק בַּמְּצוּלָה – לֹא קָנָה חוֹלְסִית. אִינִי?! וְהָא אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: מָכַר לוֹ עֶשֶׂר שָׂדוֹת בְּעֶשֶׂר מְדִינוֹת, כֵּיוָן שֶׁהֶחְזִיק בְּאַחַת מֵהֶן – קָנָה כּוּלָּן!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **And Rabba says** that **Rav Naḥman says:** If one **sold** another **a sand field** for glass making, **and a pond** for fishing or some other purpose, if the buyer **took possession of the sand field** in order to finalize the transaction, **he has not acquired the pond** and must therefore perform a separate act of acquisition for it. Conversely, if **he took possession of the pond, he has not acquired the sand field.** The Gemara asks: **Is that so? But doesn’t Shmuel say:** If one **sold** another **ten fields in ten** different **regions,** all in a single bill of sale, **once he takes possession of one of them, he has acquired them all;** and the two cases seem to be analogous.


###### Bava Batra 67a:8
[Bava Batra 67a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Bava%20Batra/r/67a:8)

הָתָם הוּא דְּסַדָּנָא דְאַרְעָא חַד הוּא, וְכוּלַּהּ חֲדָא תַּשְׁמִישְׁתָּא הוּא; אֲבָל הָכָא – הָא תַּשְׁמִישְׁתָּא לְחוֹד, וְהָא תַּשְׁמִישְׁתָּא לְחוֹד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara rejects the parallel: **There,** in the case of the ten fields, **the land is** all located in **one** geographic **block, and it all has one use,** i.e., to be farmed. The buyer, therefore, acquires all of the fields when he takes possession of one of them, even if they are not adjacent. **But here,** in the case of the sand field and the pond, **this,** the sand field, has **a distinct use,** i.e., to supply sand for glass making, **and that,** the pond, has **a distinct use,** i.e., for fishing. Therefore, taking possession of one of them does not effect a transfer of the other.
