If a man lends [money] to his neighbour on a pledge, and the pledge was lost, and he said to him: `I lent you a sela on it, and it was worth a shekel,` and the other says: `no! You lent me a sela on it, and it was worth a sela,` He is exempt. `I lent you a sela on it, and it was worth a shekel,` and the other says: `no! You lent me a sela on it, and it was worth three denarii,` He is liable. `you lent me a sela on it, and it was worth two,` and the other says: `no! I lent you a sela on it, and it was worth a sela,` He is exempt. `you lent me a sela on it, and it was worth two,` and the other says: `no! I lent you a sela on it, and it was worth five denarii,` He is liable. And who takes the oath? He who had the deposit, lest, if the other take the oath, this one may bring out the deposit. |

All who take an oath [enforced] in Scripture, take an oath, and do not pay. But these take an oath, and receive [payment]: the hired labourer, he who has been robbed, he who has been wounded, he whose opponent is suspected of taking a false oath, and the shopkeeper with his account book. `the hired labourer` how? [if] He says to him [his employer]. `give me my wages which you owe me,` and he replies, `I have given it,` and the other says, `I have not received it,` He [the labourer] takes an oath and obtains [his due]. R. Judah says, [there is no oath] unless there is partial admission: how? If he says to him, `give me my wages, fifty denarii, which you owe me,` and the other says, `you have received a gold denar.` |
