שׁוּם הַיְתוֹמִים, שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם, וְשׁוּם הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ, שִׁשִּׁים יוֹם, וּמַכְרִיזִין בַּבֹּקֶר וּבָעָרֶב. הַמַּקְדִּישׁ נְכָסָיו וְהָיְתָה עָלָיו כְּתֻבַּת אִשָּׁה, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, כְּשֶׁיְּגָרְשֶׁנָּה, יַדִּיר הֲנָאָה. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ. כַּיוֹצֵא בוֹ אָמַר רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, אַף הֶעָרֵב לָאִשָּׁה בִכְתֻבָּתָה וְהָיָה בַעְלָהּ מְגָרְשָׁהּ, יַדִּיר הֲנָאָה, שֶׁמָּא יַעֲשֶׂה קְנוּנְיָא עַל נְכָסָיו שֶׁל זֶה וְיַחֲזִיר אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
One proclaims, i.e., publicly announces, **the appraisal of the** property inherited by minor **orphans,** which is being sold to repay their father’s debt, for **thirty days,** in order to receive the maximal price. **And** one proclaims **the appraisal of consecrated** property that is being sold by the Temple treasury for **sixty days, and one proclaims** it **in the morning and in the evening.** In the case of **one who consecrates his property and there was** the outstanding debt **of the marriage contract of** his **wife,** for whose repayment one’s property is liened, **Rabbi Eliezer says: When he divorces her, he shall vow** that **benefit** from her is forbidden to him. This is to prevent collusion, by which he divorces her, she collects payment from the consecrated property, and he then remarries her. **Rabbi Yehoshua says: He need not** do so. **On a similar note, Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: Even** in the case of **the guarantor of a woman for her marriage contract, and her husband was divorcing her** and could not pay the debt, the husband **shall vow** that **benefit** from her is forbidden to him, **lest he** and his wife **engage in collusion [*kinunya*]** and collect payment from the property of **that** guarantor, **and** then the husband **will remarry his wife.**

הַמַּקְדִּישׁ נְכָסָיו וְהָיְתָה עָלָיו כְּתֻבַּת אִשָּׁה וּבַעַל חוֹב, אֵין הָאִשָּׁה יְכוֹלָה לִגְבּוֹת כְּתֻבָּתָהּ מִן הַהֶקְדֵּשׁ, וְלֹא בַעַל חוֹב אֶת חוֹבוֹ, אֶלָּא הַפּוֹדֶה פוֹדֶה עַל מְנָת לִתֵּן לָאִשָּׁה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ וּלְבַעַל חוֹב אֶת חוֹבוֹ. הִקְדִּישׁ תִּשְׁעִים מָנֶה וְהָיָה חוֹבוֹ מֵאָה מָנֶה, מוֹסִיף עוֹד דִּינָר וּפוֹדֶה בוֹ אֶת הַנְּכָסִים הַלָּלוּ, עַל מְנָת לִתֵּן לָאִשָּׁה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ וּלְבַעַל חוֹב אֶת חוֹבוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In the case of **one who consecrates his property and there was** an outstanding debt of **the marriage contract of** his **wife and** of **a creditor, the woman may not collect** the payment of **her marriage contract from the Temple** treasury, **nor may the creditor** collect **his debt. Rather, the one who redeems** the property **redeems** it for a cheap price **in order to give the woman her marriage contract** payment **and the creditor his debt.** For example, if **one consecrated** property worth **nine thousand dinars and his debt was ten thousand dinars,** leaving no property for redemption, the creditor lends **an additional dinar** to the debtor **and** the debtor **redeems the property** with that dinar, **in order to give the woman her marriage contract** payment **and the creditor his debt.**

אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמְרוּ, חַיָּבֵי עֲרָכִין מְמַשְׁכְּנִין אוֹתָן, נוֹתְנִין לוֹ מְזוֹן שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם וּכְסוּת שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וּמִטָּה מֻצַּעַת וְסַנְדָּלִין וּתְפִלִּין. לוֹ, אֲבָל לֹא לְאִשְׁתּוֹ וְלֹא לְבָנָיו. אִם הָיָה אֻמָּן, נוֹתְנִין לוֹ שְׁנֵי כְלֵי אֻמָּנוּת מִכָּל מִין וָמִין. חָרָשׁ, נוֹתְנִין לוֹ שְׁנֵי מַעֲצָדִין וּשְׁתֵּי מְגֵרוֹת. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אִם הָיָה אִכָּר, נוֹתְנִין לוֹ אֶת צִמְדּוֹ. חַמָּר, נוֹתְנִין לוֹ אֶת חֲמוֹרוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Although** the Sages **said** (21a): With regard to those **obligated** to pay **valuations,** the court **repossesses their** property to pay their debt to the Temple treasury; nevertheless, the treasurer **gives him** permission to keep **food** sufficient for **thirty days, and garments** sufficient for **twelve months,** and **a bed made** with linens, **and his sandals, and his phylacteries.** The treasurer leaves these items **for him, but** he does **not** leave items **for his wife or for his children.** **If** the one obligated to pay **was a craftsman,** the treasurer **gives him** permission to keep **two tools of** his **craft of each and every type,** e.g., for **a carpenter,** the treasurer **gives him** permission to keep **two adzes [*matzadin*] and two saws. Rabbi Eliezer says: If he was a farmer,** the treasurer **gives him** permission to keep **his pair** of oxen with which he plows the field. If he was **a donkey driver,** the treasurer **gives him** permission to keep **his donkey.**


###### Mishnah Arakhin 6:4
[Mishnah Arakhin 6:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Arakhin/r/6:4)

הָיָה מִין אֶחָד מְרֻבֶּה וּמִין אֶחָד מֻעָט, אֵין אוֹמְרִים לוֹ לִמְכֹּר מִן הַמְרֻבֶּה וְלִקַּח לוֹ מִן הַמֻּעָט, אֶלָּא נוֹתְנִין לוֹ שְׁנֵי מִינִין מִן הַמְרֻבֶּה וְכֹל שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ מִן הַמֻּעָט. הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֶת נְכָסָיו, מַעֲלִין לוֹ אֶת תְּפִלָּיו:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **one had many** tools of **one type and few** tools of **one** other **type,** e.g., three adzes and one saw, **he** may **not say** to the treasurer **to sell** one tool **of the** type of which he has **many and to purchase** for him one tool **of the** type of which he has **few. Rather,** the treasurer **gives him two** tools **of the type** of which he has **many and** he retains **whatever he has of the** type of which he has **few.** In contrast to one whose property is repossessed to pay valuations, from **one who consecrates** all **his property,** the treasurer **takes his phylacteries,** as they are included in the category of all his property.

[Mishnah Arakhin 6:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Arakhin/r/6:5)

אֶחָד הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֶת נְכָסָיו, וְאֶחָד הַמַּעֲרִיךְ אֶת עַצְמוֹ, אֵין לוֹ, לֹא בִכְסוּת אִשְׁתּוֹ, וְלֹא בִכְסוּת בָּנָיו, וְלֹא בַצֶּבַע שֶׁצְּבָעָן לִשְׁמָן, וְלֹא בְסַנְדָּלִים חֲדָשִׁים שֶׁלְּקָחָן לִשְׁמָן. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמְרוּ, עֲבָדִים נִמְכָּרִים בִּכְסוּתָן לְשֶׁבַח, שֶׁאִם תִּלָּקַח לוֹ כְסוּת בִּשְׁלֹשִׁים דִּינָר, מַשְׁבִּיחַ הוּא מָנֶה, וְכֵן פָּרָה, אִם מַמְתִּינִים אוֹתָהּ לָאִטְלִיס, מַשְׁבַּחַת הִיא, וְכֵן מַרְגָּלִית, אִם מַעֲלִין אוֹתָהּ לַכְּרָךְ, מַשְׁבַּחַת הִיא, אֵין לַהֶקְדֵּשׁ אֶלָּא מְקוֹמוֹ וְשַׁעְתּוֹ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Both** in the case of **one who consecrates his property and** the case of **one who valuates himself,** when the Temple treasurer repossesses his property he **has** the right to repossess **neither the garment of his wife nor the garment of his children, nor the dyed** garments **that he dyed for their sake,** even if they have yet to wear them, **nor the new sandals that he purchased for their sake.** **Although** the merchants **said: Slaves are sold in their garments for profit, as if** a fine **garment** worth **thirty dinars would be purchased for him,** his sale price **appreciates by one hundred dinars; and likewise** with regard to **a cow, if one waits** to sell **it until the market [*la’itlis*]** day, when demand is high, **its** sale price **appreciates; and likewise** with regard to **a pearl, if one brings it to** sell it in **the city,** where demand is high, **its** sale price **appreciates;** nevertheless, one does not make such a calculation in this case. Rather, **the Temple treasury has** the right to collect the item based **only** on **its** current **location and its** price at the present **time.**
