“In a wall

<<that is new:

<<from its middle

<<and outward

<<is his,

<<from its middle

<<and inward

<<is

<<the householder's.

Rav Ashi said:

<<a knife

<<follows

<<the handle,

<<and a purse

<<follows

<<its strap.

But rather,

<<our Mishnah

<<which teaches:

<<from its middle

<<and outward

<<is his,

<<from its middle

<<and inward

<<is

<<the householder's —

<<let us look,

<<whether

<<the handle

<<is inward

<<or

<<the handle

<<is outward!

<<Whether

<<its strap

<<is inward

<<or

<<its strap

<<is outward!

<<Our Mishnah

<<is with wool-stuffing

<<and a bar of metal.

It was taught:

<<if

<<was

<<the wall

<<full

<<of them —

<<they divide.

<<It is obvious!

<<It is not

<<necessary

<<except where it slopes

<<to one

<<side:

<<what

<<might you say?

<<Spilling

<<they spilled —

<<it teaches us.

“If

<<he was

<<renting it out

<<to others —

<<even

<<if he found

<<inside

<<the house —

<<these

<<are his.”

<<And why?

<<Let it follow

<<after

<<the last one.

Did

<<we not

<<learn:

<<money

<<that was found

<<before

<<the dealers in

<<animals

<<is always

<<maaser;

<<on the Temple

<<Mount

<<it is unconsecrated;

and in Jerusalem,

<<in the rest of

<<the days of

<<the year

<<it is unconsecrated;

<<at the time of

<<the festival

<<all

<<is maaser.

And Rav Shemaya bar Ze'eira said:

<<what is the reason?

<<Since

<<the markets of

<<Jerusalem

<<are

<<swept

<<every

<<day.

<<Apparently

<<we say:

<<the earlier ones,

<<the earlier ones

<<have gone,

<<and these

<<are others

<<they are.

<<Here too:

<<the first,

<<the first

<<has gone,

<<and these

<<are of the last

<<it is!

Reish Lakish said

<<in the name of

<<bar Kappara:

<<such as

<<where he made it

<<an inn

<<for three

<<Jews.

Learn from it

<<that the halachah is

<<like Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar

<<even

<<with a majority of Israel!

Rather,

<<Rav Menashya bar Yaakov said:

<<such as

<<where he made it

<<an inn

<<for three

<<gentiles.

Rav Nachman

<<Rabbah bar Avuha said:

<<even

<<you may say

<<for three

<<Jews.

<<What is the reason?

<<That one

<<from whom it fell

<<from him

<<despaired;

<<saying

<<he says:

<<now,

<<a person

<<another

<<was not

<<present

<<with me

<<except

<<these;

<<I said

<<before them

<<many

<<times

<<let them return

<<to me,

<<and they did not

<<return

<<to me,

<<and now

<<will they return?!

<<If

<<their intent

<<was to return it

<<they would have returned it

<<to me;

<<and this

<<that they did not

<<return it

<<to me

<<is that their intent

<<is to steal it.

And goes

<<Rav Nachman
