| One who buys two trees in another man`s field does not acquire ownership of the ground. R. Meir says: He does acquire ownership of the ground. [If the trees] grew large [the landowner] must not cut down their branches. Whatever grows from the stem is his [the buyer`s], and [whatever grows] from the roots [belongs] to the landowner. If [the trees] died [the buyer] has no [claim to the] ground. One who bought three [trees] has [implicitly] acquired [ownership of the] ground. [If] they grew large, [the landowner] may cut down their branches. Whatever grows from the stem and from the roots [belongs] to him [the buyer]. If [the trees] died [the buyer] has [a right to the] possession of the ground. |
בתרא 5.4 הקונה שני אילנות בתוך של חברו, הרי זה לא קנה קרקע; רבי מאיר אומר, קנה קרקע׃ הגדילו, לא ישפה׃ העולה מן הגזע, שלו; ומן השורשים, של בעל הבית׃ ואם מתו, אין לו קרקע׃ קנה שלושה, קנה קרקע; הגדילו, ישפה׃ העולה מן השורשים, שלו׃ ואם מתו, יש לו קרקע |
| He who sells the head of large cattle has not sold the feet; He who sold the feet has not sold the head. [If] He has sold the lungs he has not sold the liver, [if] He has sold the liver he has not sold the lungs. But, in [the case of] small cattle, [if] He has sold the head he has sold the feet, [if] He has sold the feet he has not sold the head. [If] He has sold the lungs he has sold the liver, [if] He has sold the liver he has not sold the lungs |
בתרא 5.5 המוכר את הראש בבהמה גסה, לא מכר את הרגליים; מכר את הרגליים, לא מכר את הראש׃ מכר את הקנה, לא מכר את הכבד; מכר את הכבד, לא מכר את הקנה׃ אבל בבהמה דקה-- מכר את הראש, מכר את הרגליים; מכר את הרגליים, לא מכר את הראש׃ מכר את הקנה, מכר את הכבד; מכר את הכבד, לא מכר את הקנה |
