NOTES
משנה ז
להיות מפריש עליהן מחלקן - Obviously, a זר may not eat תרומה, but he may sell it to another כהן. There are three opinions in the גמרא as to how the lender is able to acquire the תרומות or מעשרות. According to רב, the borrower is a friend of the lender, and so, as all other eligible recipients of the תרומות or מעשרות will have abandoned hope of collecting it, and the lender may now be זוכה in the תרומות or מעשרות in the place of the borrower. שמואל says that he acquires the תרומות or מעשרות through an intermediary who is קונה them on behalf of the borrower, and then turns them over to the lender. עולא says that there is actually a תקנה allowing a lender to acquire תרומות or מעשרות on behalf of a borrower in order to encourage lending to כהנים, לוים and paupers.
צריך לטול רשות מן היורשין - The heirs may opt to repay the loan from a different source. According to רע"ב, we are dealing with a case of heirs who are obligated to repay the loan because there is a written loan document and they had inherited real property. According to רש"י, our mishna is not dealing with such a case, and the heirs may even decide to leave the debt unpaid.
