Bechoros 33

Yesterday, the lion's share of the Duff was dealing with this question of how do we know that my Serbe Hema, the tithe of an animal, cannot be sold? Okay? By B'chor, the Koran can't sell the B'chor.

Why? Can.

By Ma'aseh, you're not allowed to sell it.

And we gave three different answers.

Okay? One answer was that there is a Gezer Shavah between Ma'aseh and Cheyrem.

What's Cheyrem? Cheyrem is you say, this object is a Cheyrem, you have to give it to the Koran.

And the passage goes, By Haramim, lo yimachev lo yge'el, cannot be sold or redeemed.

By Ma'aseh, it says, lo yigal, you cannot redeem it.

And we have a Gezer Shavah, just like you can't redeem Ma'aseh, and you can't redeem Cheyrem.

There's a Gezer Shavah that connects those, just like you can't sell the Cheyrem, you also cannot sell the Ma'aseh.

We then go caught up with proving that the Gezer Shavah And why don't we learn Ma'aseh to Behath Bechor? But that's all details that ended up being answered.

The second answer was Rava.

Rava said that the Pasuk is by Lo Yigael, by Cheirim.

By Cheirim, the Pasuk says do not redeem it, but it's completely, not even redundant, but it's not useful in any way.

Why? Because if I have an object that I say it's Cheirim to give to a Kohen, then how am I going to redeem it? If it's still in my property, I need to give it to the Kohen.

If it's in the Kohen's property... then there's no redemption needs to happen because it's already his property and he can already be honest with it and therefore the Pasuk, do not redeem it by Hiram is completely redundant and we take it out of context now we say Imeino Inyan it's coming to teach actually that you cannot sell Maiser even though it's a different context that's just how droshes sometimes work okay and then the third answer was Rav Ashi Rav Ashi said the Pasuk when it says do not redeem it in Maiser it actually means to do not sell it why does it mean do not sell it? because let's look at the logic We connect between Maiser and Timura.

By Timura, you can only make an animal Timura.

Timura is when you say, I'm trying to explain the Kaddush from animal A to animal B, and the Torah punishes you there.

And both animals are Kaddush in that case.

But also, Timura you can only do when the animal's alive.

When the animal's dead, you can't do Timura.

So too, uh redeeming my sir can only be done when the animal is alive not when the animal is dead but then we said that makes no sense if you can redeem it when the animal is alive obviously you're going to be able to redeem when the animal's dead and its holiness is weaker and therefore we said it must mean that when the apostle is saying here do not redeem it actually means do not sell it because if we're making a cover just like you cannot sell it when it's alive you can't sell it when it's dead, but you can sell it when it's dead, that makes sense, because it's less holy when it's dead, and therefore the prohibition of selling it will not apply.

Okay, that was Rav Ashi, and that's basically all I want to say.

That's not the three Siman of Zichru, but there's the three reasons brought for why you cannot sell Maisa Be'hima.
