Kiddushin 2:8 - 2:9

המקדש בחלקו – [the portion] that he divided with his brothers who are Kohanim.

אינה מקודשת – because the Kohanim became worthy from the table of “On-High” (i.e., God), and Scripture states (Numbers 18:9): “This shall be yours from the most holy sacrifices: the gifts….” Just as fire you cannot use other than for eating, so too, these gifts you shall not use them other then for eating. And regarding tithes, it is written that they are for God, and it shall remain in his status.

רבי יהודה אומר מזיד קידש – Second Tithe, for it goes out to become non-sacred produce through redemption, and it was removed to non-sacred produce via this sanctification (i.e., betrothal). And Rabbi Meir there is no path of redemption in this manner.

ובהקדש – of keeping the Temple in repair.

מדיד קידש – for since he new that it was dedicated to the Temple and he removed it to non-sacred status on purpose, his holiness became profaned.

ובשוגג – that he did not know that it was dedicated Temple property and he did not like it that dedicated Temple property would become profaned by his hand, his holiness was not profaned, and she is not betrothed. But Rabbi Yehuda held the opposite, and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Meir in tithing, and according to Rabbi Yehuda as regarding objects dedicated to the Temple worship.

המקדש בערלה וכו' אינה מקודשת – since all of them are forbidden to derive benefit [from them]. The fruit of trees from the first three years, as it is written (Leviticus 19:23): “[Three years it shall be forbidden to you,] not to be eaten,” both the prohibition of eating and the prohibition of deriving benefit by implication.

ובכלאי הכרם – as it is written (Deuteronomy 22:9): “[You shall not sow your vineyard with a second kind of seed,] else the crop [from the seed you have sown – and the yield of the vineyard may not be used],” lest it be burned by fire.

ובשור הנסקל – as it is written concerning it (Exodus 21:26): “[When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, that ox shall be stoned] and its flesh shall not be eaten….”

ובעגלה ערופה – as it is written about it “absolve” like with things dedicated to the Temple (Kiddushin 57a) as it states (Deuteronomy 21:8): “Absolve [O LORD, Your people Israel whom You redeemed, and do not let guilt for the blood of the innocent remain among Your people Israel] and they will be absolved of bloodguilt.”

בציפורי מצורע – As is taught in a Baraita (Kiddushin 57a – the School of Rabbi Yishmael): It is stated: an offering which makes it fit [for admission to the Temple or eating sacred food] and an offering which procures atonement are mentioned within [the Temple]; the guilt offering of the leper which qualifies him to eat sacred food, and his sin offering which atones, both of them are offered inside [the Temple]. And it is stated: an offering which makes him fit and atones outside, also qualifies him; the birds of the leper that qualify him to come into the camp [of Israel], and which atone; the heifer whose neck is broken – where it says concerning it “and they will be absolved of bloodguilt” (Deuteronomy 21:8), and both of them are performed outside of the Temple court. Just as it qualifies him and atones for him which is mentioned – inside the Temple, which are the guilt offering and sin-offering of the leper, that which qualifies him is like that which atones, for both of them are sacred things and it is prohibited to derive any benefit from them, so also that which qualifies him and atones for him outside, which are the birds of the leper and the heifer whose neck is broken, qualifies for him as it atones for him are also prohibited to derive benefit [from them]. And from when are the birds of the leper prohibited to derive benefit? From the time of their slaughter, and the slaughtered bird alone is prohibited to benefit from it; but the heifer whose neck is to be broken – its being brought down to an ever-flowing wadi, prohibit it [to derive benefit from it].

ובשער הנזיר – As Scripture states (Numbers 6:5): “[Throughout the term of his vow as nazirite, no razor shall touch his head;] it shall remain consecrated [until the completion of his term as nazirite of the LORD,] the hair of his head being left to grow untrimmed.” The growth of the untrimmed hair of his head makes it holy.

ופטר חמור – It is stated concerning him (i.e., the firstling ass) (Exodus 13:13): “[But every firstling ass you shall redeem with a sheep; if you do not redeem it] you must break its neck….” And it is stated concerning the heifer whose neck is to be broken (Deuteronomy 21:4): “There, in the wadi, they shall break the heifer’s neck. Just as the heifer whose neck is broken is prohibited to derive benefit from it, so also one may not derive benefit from the firstling ass, and it is not permitted to derive benefit from the heifer other an after its neck is broken.

ובבשר בחלב – it is stated three times [in the Torah: (Exodus 23:19; Exodus 34:26 and Deuteronomy 14:21): “You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk,” One of them prohibits eating and one prohibits deriving benefit and one of them prohibits cooking.

ובחולין שנשחטו בעזרה – as it is written (Deuteronomy 12:21): “[If the place where the LORD has chosen to establish His name] is too far from you, you may slaughter [any of the cattle or sheep that LORD gives you…].”If the Place is distant from you, you may slaughter, but you may not slaughter if the Place is close to you. It is possible that you may not eat it, but rather cast it to dogs, as we learn (Exodus 22:30): “[You shall be holy people to Me: you must not eat flesh torn by beasts in the field;] you shall cast it to the dogs.” That (i.e., flesh torn by beasts in the field) you shall cast to the dogs, but not non-sacred animals that were slaughtered in the Temple court.

מכרן וקדש בדמיהן מקודשת – for you may not have anything that stamps its purchase price [with its own sacred character] that will be like it other than idolatry and Seventh-year produce. Idolatry – as it states (Deuteronomy 7:26): “[You must not bring an abhorrent thing into your house,] or you will be proscribed like it; [you must reject it as abominable and abhorrent, for it is proscribed].” Everything from which you derive benefit, it becomes like it. And [concerning] Seventh-year produce, where it says (Leviticus 25:12): “[For it is a jubilee.] It shall be holy to you; [you may only eat the growth direct from the field.]” It stamps its purchase price like something dedicated to the Temple. And Idolatry and Seventh-year produce are two verses that come with the same teaching, and all cases which have two verses that come with the same teaching, we don’t learn anything from them.
