וּמִי מָצֵית מוֹקְמַתְּ לַהּ לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן כְּרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא? וְהָא תַּנְיָא: הִקְדִּישׁ שְׁלֹשָׁה אִילָנוֹת מִמַּטַּע עֲשָׂרָה לְבֵית סְאָה – הֲרֵי הִקְדִּישׁ אֶת הַקַּרְקַע וְאֶת הָאִילָנוֹת שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם; לְפִיכָךְ כְּשֶׁהוּא פּוֹדֶה – פּוֹדֶה בֵּית זֶרַע חוֹמֶר שְׂעוֹרִים, בַּחֲמִשִּׁים שֶׁקֶל כָּסֶף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But can you establish that** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon** is **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** that one who sells or consecrates property does so generously? **But isn’t it taught** in a *baraita*: If **one consecrates three trees** in a field **where ten** trees are **planted in an area required for sowing one *se’a* of seed [*beit se’a*], he has consecrated** not only those trees, but also **the land and the** young **trees between them? Therefore,** if this is an ancestral field of his, **when he redeems** them, **he redeems** the land and everything contained within it according to the standard rate established by the Torah, whereby **an area** fit **for the sowing of a *ḥomer*,** i.e., a *kor*, of **barley seed** is redeemed **for fifty silver shekels.**

פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן אוֹ יוֹתֵר עַל כֵּן, אוֹ שֶׁהִקְדִּישָׁן בָּזֶה אַחַר זֶה – הֲרֵי זֶה לֹא הִקְדִּישׁ לֹא הַקַּרְקַע, וְלֹא אֶת הָאִילָנוֹת שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם. לְפִיכָךְ, כְּשֶׁהוּא פּוֹדֶה – פּוֹדֶה אֶת הָאִילָנוֹת בְּשׇׁוְויֵהֶן. וְלֹא עוֹד, אֶלָּא אֲפִילּוּ הִקְדִּישׁ אֶת הָאִילָנוֹת, וְחָזַר וְהִקְדִּישׁ אֶת הַקַּרְקַע; כְּשֶׁהוּא פּוֹדֶה – פּוֹדֶה אֶת הָאִילָנוֹת בְּשׇׁוְויֵהֶן, וְחוֹזֵר וּפוֹדֶה בֵּית זֶרַע חוֹמֶר שְׂעוֹרִים בַּחֲמִשִּׁים שֶׁקֶל כָּסֶף.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* continues: If the ratio of land to trees was **less than this,** and the trees were planted more densely, **or** if the ratio of land to trees was **more than this,** and the trees were planted less densely, **or if he consecrated** each of the trees separately, **one after the other, this** person **has consecrated neither the land nor the** young **trees between them. Therefore, when he redeems** them, **he redeems the trees in accordance with their worth. And moreover, even if one consecrates the trees** where they are planted more densely, less densely, or one after the other, **and then** afterward **he consecrates the land,** so that everything belongs to the Temple treasury, **when he redeems** them, **he redeems the trees** separately **in accordance with their worth, and then he redeems** the land according to the standard rate, where **an area** fit **for the sowing of a *ḥomer*** of **barley seed** is redeemed **for fifty silver shekels.**

מַנִּי? אִי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, הָא אָמַר: מוֹכֵר בְּעַיִן יָפָה מוֹכֵר; וְכׇל שֶׁכֵּן מַקְדִּישׁ! אִי רַבָּנַן, הָא אָמְרִי: מוֹכֵר הוּא דִּבְעַיִן רָעָה מוֹכֵר, אֲבָל מַקְדִּישׁ – בְּעַיִן יָפָה מַקְדִּישׁ! אֶלָּא פְּשִׁיטָא רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן הִיא,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara clarifies: **Whose** opinion is expressed in the *baraita*? **If** it is the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva, doesn’t he say** that **one who sells, sells generously, and all the more so one who consecrates** does so generously? This being the case, even if the trees were consecrated one after the other, some of the land should be consecrated along with them. And **if** the *baraita* reflects the opinion of **the Rabbis, don’t they say** in the mishna that **it is** specifically **the seller who sells sparingly, but one who consecrates, consecrates generously,** and therefore the pit and the winepress are consecrated along with the field? Therefore, the *halakha* stated here is not in accordance with their opinion either. **Rather,** it is **obvious** that the *baraita* **is** in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon** in the mishna here, that even one who consecrates a field does not consecrate the cistern and the winepress along with it.

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן – אַלִּיבָּא דְמַאן? אִי אַלִּיבָּא דְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, הָא אָמַר: מוֹכֵר בְּעַיִן יָפָה מוֹכֵר; וְכׇל שֶׁכֵּן מַקְדִּישׁ! אֶלָּא פְּשִׁיטָא אַלִּיבָּא דְרַבָּנַן, וְקָא סָבַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן: כִּי הֵיכִי דְּמוֹכֵר בְּעַיִן רָעָה מוֹכֵר, מַקְדִּישׁ נָמֵי בְּעַיִן רָעָה מַקְדִּישׁ – וּמְשַׁיַּיר אַרְעָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon** is **in accordance with** the opinion **of whom? If** it is **in accordance with** the opinion **of Rabbi Akiva, doesn’t he say** that **one who sells, sells generously, and all the more so one who consecrates** does so generously? **Rather,** it is **obvious** that his opinion is **in accordance with** the opinion **of the Rabbis,** who disagree with Rabbi Akiva and say that one who sells, sells sparingly. **And Rabbi Shimon** disagrees with the Rabbis insofar as **he** himself **holds** that **just as one who sells, sells sparingly, one who consecrates also consecrates sparingly and retains the land** around the trees for himself.
