אבל משכיר להם בתים לעשותן אוצר. א"א ובלבד שלא יהיה אוצר של יין ואם עשה שכרו אסור:
But one may lease houses to them for storage. Provided it be not storage for wine; if he made it such the rental is forbidden property.¹
footnotes: ¹ Maimonides had no need to repeat that the proceeds of idolatry is forbidden property. C.
ואפילו יושב ישיבת עראי או עובר ממקום למקום בסחורה לא יעבור בארצנו. א"א זאת לא מצאנו ולא שמענו מעולם והפסוק שהוא מביא בז' אומות הוא ואפילו לדבריו ישיבה כתיב בהו ולא העברה:
For even etc. This we did not find nor have we ever heard of it. The Verse which he quotes speaks only of settlement, but not of passing through, and refers only to the seven Canaanite nations.¹
footnotes: ¹ Maimonides deducts this law from the admonition "lest they make thee sin", which is applicable to idolaters alike, and to settlers as well as travellers. C. G.
אבל שלא בזמן היובל אין מקבלין אלא גר צדק בלבד. א"א איני משוה לו בישיבת הארץ:
But during the interval etc. I do not agree with him in so far as the settling of the idolater is concerned,¹
footnotes: ¹ Since he assumed the seven commandments why not permit him? Neither does Maimonides forbid the idolater to assume the obligation of the seven commandments; he merely states the law that the tribunal does not receive him, which does not at all prevents his residence in Eretz Yisrael. C. G.
