###### Gittin 30b:1
[Gittin 30b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:1)

אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ עֲנִיֵּי כוּתִיִּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: There is a difference **between them** where the only poor people to be found are **poor Samaritans.** According to Rabbi Eliezer ben Ya’akov, they are not considered to be converts (see *Kiddushin* 75b), and one may not continue the arrangement with them serving as the poor people. According to Rabbi Aḥai, they are considered converts, and one may continue the arrangement with them serving as the poor people.


###### Gittin 30b:2
[Gittin 30b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:2)

הֶעֱשִׁיר הֶעָנִי – אֵין מַפְרִישׁ עָלָיו, וְזָכָה הַלָּה בְּמַה שֶּׁבְּיָדוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It was taught in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 3:1) that if **the poor person became wealthy** then the homeowner **may no** longer **separate** tithes **based on his** outstanding loan, **and** the borrower, who is now wealthy, **acquires** the money remaining **in his possession.** This is because from the outset the understanding was that the loan would be repaid only by separating the poor man’s tithe.


###### Gittin 30b:3
[Gittin 30b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:3)

וְרַבָּנַן, מַאי שְׁנָא לְמִיתָה דַּעֲבוּד תַּקַּנְתָּא, וּמַאי שְׁנָא לַעֲשִׁירוּת דְּלָא עֲבוּד תַּקַּנְתָּא? מִיתָה שְׁכִיחָא, עֲשִׁירוּת לָא שְׁכִיחָא. אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא, הַיְינוּ דְּאָמְרִי אִינָשֵׁי: חַבְרָךְ מִית – אַשַּׁר, אִיתְעַשַּׁר – לָא תְּאַשַּׁר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And** according to **the Sages, what is different about death,** when the poor man dies, **that they instituted an ordinance** to enable the homeowner to continue to separate tithes based on other poor people, **and what is different about wealth,** when the poor man becomes wealthy, **that they did not institute an ordinance?** The Gemara answers: **Death is common,** whereas **wealth is not common,** and the Sages did not enact an ordinance for an uncommon circumstance. **Rav Pappa said: This** explains the folk saying **that people say:** If one says to you that **your friend died,** then **believe** it; but if one says to you that your friend **became wealthy, do not believe** it until it has been proven.


###### Gittin 30b:4
[Gittin 30b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:4)

מֵת – צָרִיךְ לִיטּוֹל רְשׁוּת וְכוּ׳: תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: יוֹרְשִׁין שֶׁיָּרְשׁוּ. וּמִי אִיכָּא יוֹרְשִׁין דְּלָא יָרְתִי?! אֶלָּא אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: שֶׁיָּרְשׁוּ קַרְקַע, וְלֹא שֶׁיָּרְשׁוּ כְּסָפִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches that if the priest or Levite **died,** the lender **needs to obtain permission** from the heirs to continue the arrangement. It **is taught** in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 3:1): **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **says** that this is referring to **heirs who inherited.** The Gemara asks: **And are there heirs who do not inherit?** What is meant by the expression: Heirs who inherit? **Rather, Rabbi Yoḥanan said:** This means heirs **who inherited land,** as one can collect debts from land bequeathed by a borrower, **and not** heirs **who inherited money,** as lenders cannot collect debts from money bequeathed by a borrower.


###### Gittin 30b:5
[Gittin 30b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:5)

אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹנָתָן: הִנִּיחַ מְלֹא מַחַט – גּוֹבֶה מְלֹא מַחַט. מְלֹא קַרְדּוֹם – גּוֹבֶה מְלֹא קַרְדּוֹם. וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ הִנִּיחַ מְלֹא מַחַט – גּוֹבֶה מְלֹא קַרְדּוֹם;

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to this matter **Rabbi Yonatan says:** If the priest **left** his heirs enough land **to fill a needle,** i.e., a minimal amount, then the homeowner **collects,** i.e., separates *teruma*, in the amount of produce that has the value of **a full needle** of land. If he left enough land **to fill an ax,** i.e., a larger amount, then the homeowner **collects** the value of **a full ax** of land. **And Rabbi Yoḥanan says: Even** if he **left** for his heirs enough land **to fill a needle,** the homeowner **collects** the value of **a full ax** of land.


###### Gittin 30b:6
[Gittin 30b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:6)

וּכְמַעֲשֶׂה דְּקַטִּינָא דְאַבָּיֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And this is like the incident** involving **the small** portion of land in the court **of Abaye.** The children of a deceased man had inherited a small field that was worth only a fraction of the debt that their father had owed. The creditor seized the land in payment of the debt, and Abaye ruled that even after the orphans pay the creditor the value of the land to repurchase it, the creditor can seize the land again and the orphans will have to pay for it again, to have it returned, until the entire debt has been repaid.


###### Gittin 30b:7
[Gittin 30b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:7)

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁאָמַר לְלֵוִי: ״מַעֲשֵׂר יֵשׁ לְךָ בְּיָדִי״, אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין לִתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁבּוֹ. ״כּוֹר מַעֲשֵׂר יֵשׁ לְךָ בְּיָדִי״ – חוֹשְׁשִׁין לִתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁבּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **The Sages taught** in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 3:2): With regard to **an Israelite who said to a Levite: There is tithe of yours in my possession** that I separated from my produce on your behalf, **one is not concerned about** the ***teruma* of the tithe that is in it,** i.e., the one-tenth of the tithe that is given to the priest and forbidden to both the Levite and the Israelite; rather it is assumed to be only first tithe. However, if he said to him: **There is a *kor* of tithe of yours in my possession,** then **one is concerned about** the ***teruma* of the tithe that is in it.**


###### Gittin 30b:8
[Gittin 30b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:8)

מַאי קָאָמַר? אָמַר אַבָּיֵי, הָכִי קָאָמַר: יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁאָמַר לְלֵוִי ״מַעֲשֵׂר יֵשׁ לְךָ בְּיָדִי, וְהֵילָךְ דָּמָיו״, אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא עֲשָׂאוֹ תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עַל מָקוֹם אַחֵר. ״כּוֹר מַעֲשֵׂר יֵשׁ לְךָ בְּיָדִי, וְהֵילָךְ דָּמָיו״, חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא עֲשָׂאוֹ תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עַל מָקוֹם אַחֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is** the *baraita* **saying? Abaye said: This is what it is saying:** In the case of **an Israelite who said to a Levite: There is tithe of yours in my possession, and here is money** in exchange for **it,** then **one is not concerned** that **perhaps** the Levite **converted** the tithe that is now in the possession of the Israelite into ***teruma* of the tithe for** tithes that he has **elsewhere.** Since the Israelite did not specify how much tithe of the Levite’s he had, the Levite would not know how much of his other tithe could be exempted from *teruma* of the tithe by converting this tithe into *teruma* of the tithe. But if an Israelite said to a Levite: **There is a *kor* of tithe of yours in my possession, and here is money** in exchange for **it,** then **one is concerned** that since the Levite knows the amount of the tithe, **perhaps he converted it** into the ***teruma* of the tithe for** tithes that he has **elsewhere.**


###### Gittin 30b:9
[Gittin 30b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:9)

אַטּוּ בְּרַשִּׁיעֵי עָסְקִינַן, דְּשָׁקְלִי דְּמֵי וּמְשַׁוּוּ לֵיהּ תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara questions Abaye’s explanation: **Is that to say** that **we are dealing with wicked** people, **who take money** in exchange for the tithe **and** afterward **convert it** into the ***teruma* of the tithe?** Once the Levite takes money in exchange for the tithe, it is no longer his to convert it into *teruma* of the tithe. Why would the *baraita* address the case of a Levite who acts in this fashion?


###### Gittin 30b:10
[Gittin 30b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:10)

אֶלָּא אָמַר רַב מְשַׁרְשְׁיָא בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב אִידִי, הָכִי קָאָמַר: יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁאָמַר לְבֶן לֵוִי ״מַעֲשֵׂר לְאָבִיךְ בְּיָדִי, הֵילָךְ דָּמָיו״, אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא עֲשָׂאוֹ אָבִיו תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עַל מָקוֹם אַחֵר. ״כּוֹר מַעֲשֵׂר לְאָבִיךְ בְּיָדִי, וְהֵילָךְ דָּמָיו״, חוֹשְׁשִׁין שֶׁמָּא עֲשָׂאוֹ אָבִיו תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עַל מָקוֹם אַחֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, Rav Mesharshiyya, son of Rav Idi, said** that **this is what** the *baraita* **is saying:** In the case of **an Israelite who said to the son of a Levite:** There is **tithe of your father’s in my possession,** about which I had informed him while he was still alive; **here is money** in exchange for **it,** one is **not concerned** that **perhaps** before his death **his father converted it** into ***teruma* of the tithe for** tithes that he had **elsewhere,** and the son may accept the money. But if an Israelite said to the son of a Levite: There is **a *kor* of tithe of your father’s in my possession, and here is money** in exchange for **it;** then one **is concerned** that **perhaps his father converted it** into ***teruma* of the tithe for** tithes that he has **elsewhere,** and the son may not accept the money.


###### Gittin 30b:11
[Gittin 30b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:11)

וְכִי נֶחְשְׁדוּ חֲבֵרִים לִתְרוֹם שֶׁלֹּא מִן הַמּוּקָּף?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara questions Rav Mesharshiyya’s explanation: Why is there a concern that the father may have converted it into *teruma* of the tithe for tithes that he had elsewhere? If one has produce that needs to have *teruma* or *teruma* of the tithe separated from it, and he wants to perform the separation from other produce, to exempt all the produce, the Sages established that the other produce must be situated nearby. **And are *ḥaverim*,** who are meticulous in their observance of mitzvot, especially the *halakhot* of *teruma* and tithes, **suspected of separating** *teruma* from produce **that is not situated near** the produce they seek to exempt?


###### Gittin 30b:12
[Gittin 30b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:12)

אֶלָּא אָמַר רַב אָשֵׁי, הָכִי קָאָמַר: בֶּן יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁאָמַר לְלֵוִי ״כָּךְ אָמַר לִי אַבָּא: מַעֲשֵׂר לְךָ בְּיָדִי״ אוֹ ״מַעֲשֵׂר לְאָבִיךְ בְּיָדִי״ – חוֹשְׁשִׁין לִתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁבּוֹ, כֵּיוָן דְּלָא קִיץ לָא הֲוָה מְתַקֵּן לֵיהּ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת. ״כּוֹר מַעֲשֵׂר לְךָ בְּיָדִי״ אוֹ ״כּוֹר מַעֲשֵׂר לְאָבִיךְ בְּיָדִי״ – אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין לִתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שֶׁבּוֹ, כֵּיוָן דְּקִיץ תַּקּוֹנֵי תַּקְּנֵיהּ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, Rav Ashi said: This is what** the *baraita* **is saying:** With regard to **the son of an Israelite who said to a Levite: This is what my father told me,** that there is **tithe of yours in my possession, or** that there is **tithe of your father’s in my possession,** then one **is concerned about** the ***teruma* of the tithe that is in it** that presumably was never separated. **Since it is not a set** amount, **the homeowner would not have rendered** the tithe **fit for him** by separating the *teruma* of the tithe. But if the son of an Israelite said to a Levite: My father told me that there is **a *kor* of tithe of yours in my possession, or** that there is **a *kor* of tithe of your father’s in my possession,** then one is **not concerned about** the ***teruma* of the tithe that is in it. Since it is a set** amount, **the homeowner** is assumed to have **rendered** the tithe **fit** by separating the *teruma* of the tithe.


###### Gittin 30b:13
[Gittin 30b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Gittin/r/30b:13)

וְכִי יֵשׁ לוֹ רְשׁוּת לְבַעַל הַבַּיִת לִתְרוֹם תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר?! אִין, אַבָּא אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן גַּמְלָא הִיא. דְּתַנְיָא, אַבָּא אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן גַּמְלָא אוֹמֵר: ״וְנֶחְשַׁב לָכֶם תְּרוּמַתְכֶם״ –

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara questions Rav Ashi’s explanation: **And does the homeowner have permission to separate** the ***teruma* of the tithe** from the tithe of the Levite? The Levite is the one who is required to separate the *teruma* of the tithe and to give it to a priest. The Gemara answers: **Yes;** the *baraita* **is** in accordance with the opinion of **Abba Elazar ben Gamla. As it is taught** in a *baraita*: **Abba Elazar ben Gamla says:** The verse states concerning the *teruma* of the tithe: **“And the gift that you set apart [*terumatkhem*] shall be reckoned to you,** as though it were the grain of the threshing floor” (Numbers 18:27).
