Maseches Bechoros Daf 2

And of course, the Gemara will say, why do we need all four cases? Here we go.

Let's say that there's a goy out there.

A goy, you'll call him, what's a goy name? His name is Christian.

It's a pretty goyish name, right? So he owns a donkey.

I buy the ubar of his donkey.

Okay, so now we're already bridging, because on the one hand, I'm a Yisrael.

If I own the Ubar, what does that do to the status of the Ubar? If now I'm a Yid, he's a Goy, so push it by him, there's no Kedushas Bechor.

So we're already in the gray space, this tension between the Goy and the Yid.

or if I own the animal and I sell the ubar to a goyim, even though you're not allowed to do that, we learn in Masach HaSavuot Hazor again today, we're not supposed to sell animals to goyim because they may get worked on Shabbos and if it's a place that's we're afraid that they may do things that are inappropriate with animals.

So if I sell to a goit, which I'm not allowed to do, and that's case two.

Case three, we're equal partners.

Or, I receive that animal from the goit in kablonos, in contract work.

Or, I own the animal and I give it to the goit for him to do work with the animal.

In all four cases, says the Gemara, end of the Mishnah, Da'af Be'ez Amad Aleph, What is the be Yisrael? This is the pasuk that I just read.

When is there sanctification? Only when it has a din of a Yisrael.

Only when, I'll use a broad term, when the ownership is owned by a Yid.

That is when we have Kedusha.

But here, all of these cases, there's some partnership, some Shutfus with a Goy.

And therefore, the Din B'Yisrael means that it's only B'Yisrael and not B'Acheirim.

And because the Goy is very, very involved here in significant ways.

So therefore, there's a tour on the status of Kedusha of the Bechorah of the Chamo.

says the gemara six lines down call honey why do i need all four of these cases just say that if there's any involvement of a gohi then then we have a drusha be israel avalo why every why every permutation you i a clear sale me to him him to me 50 50 partnership kablan is in one direction kablanus and the other all five cases why do i need all these cases So it says the Gemara, no, we needed them.

If it was only the case where I purchased the Ubar from the mother that is owned by the Goy, if that was the case we were dealing with, I might have thought that since I'm buying the Ubar into Klal Yisrael, and I'm going to treat that Ubar B'Kedusha, namely that I'm going to make sure it's not Mechal Shabbos, look at Rashi, the first one on the Gemara, Shabbos, Shabbos, If the Goy were to keep the animal, the animal would be used on Shabbos.

Now I'm a Yid.

If I buy the Ubar and it's inculcated into my community, that animal is an element of Kedusha, but look at the rest of Rashi.
