cries out.

<<The one

<<who said

<<the other

<<cries out —

<<but

<<silence

<<is like admission.

<<And the one

<<who said

<<the other

<<is silent —

<<the silence

<<of here

<<not

<<like admission

<<is;

<<he can

<<say

<<to him:

<<this

<<that I was silent

<<to each

<<and every one,

<<is because I said:

<<perhaps

<<this one

<<it is.

Said

<<the master:

<<he places

<<the robbed item

<<among them

<<and withdraws.

<<And do they take

<<it,

<<all of them,

<<and go?

<<But didn't Rabbi Abba bar Zavda say in the name of Rav:

<<any

<<doubtful

<<placement —

<<at the outset

<<he should not

<<take it,

<<and if

<<he took it

<<he should not

<<return it.

<<Rav Safra said:

<<and he sets it aside.

Abaye said to Rava:

<<did

<<say

<<Rabbi Akiva:

<<not

<<this

<<is the way

<<that takes him out

<<of the hands of

<<transgression,

<<until

<<he pays

<<the robbed amount

<<to each

<<and every one?

<<Apparently

<<out of doubt

<<we take out

<<money,

<<and we do not

<<say:

<<“establish

<<money

<<in the possession of

<<its owner”.

But they raised a contradiction:

<<if fell

<<the house

<<on him

<<and on

<<his mother;

<<the heirs of

<<the son

<<say:

<<the mother

<<died

<<first,

<<and the heirs of

<<the mother

<<say:

<<the son

<<died

<<first —

<<these

<<and those

<<concede

<<that they divide.

<<And Rabbi Akiva said:

<<concede

<<I

<<in this

<<that the property

<<is in its presumptive possession!

He said to him:

<<there,

<<“perhaps”

<<and “perhaps”;

<<if he robbed

<<one

<<of five —

<<“certain”

<<and “perhaps”.

<<But

<<our Mishnah

<<here:

<<if he said

<<to two:

<<I robbed

<<one

<<of you

<<of a maneh,

<<which “perhaps”

<<and “perhaps”

<<is,

<<and it teaches:

<<he gives

<<this one

<<a maneh

<<and that one

<<a maneh.

And from where

<<that Rabbi Akiva

<<it is?

<<For it teaches

<<concerning

<<that one:

<<concedes

<<Rabbi Tarfon

<<where one says

<<to two:

<<“I robbed

<<one

<<of you

<<of a maneh

<<and I do not

<<know

<<which

<<of you

<<etc.”

<<To whom

<<does he concede?

<<Is it not

<<to Rabbi Akiva,

<<his disputant?

And from where

<<that “perhaps”

<<and “perhaps”

<<it is?

<<One,

<<that it does not

<<teach

<<they claim

<<from him.

<<And further,

<<indeed

<<taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<this one

<<says:

<<“I do not

<<know”,

<<and that one

<<says:

<<“I do not

<<know”.

Indeed

<<we established

<<it

<<where he comes

<<to fulfill

<<his duty to

<<Heaven.

Ravina said to Rav Ashi:

<<and did

<<say

<<Rava

<<that any

<<in two

<<bundles

<<it was for him

<<to take note?

<<But didn't Rava say,

<<and some say

<<Rav Pappa:

<<all

<<concede

<<regarding two

<<who deposited

<<with

<<a shepherd,

<<that places it

<<the shepherd

<<among them

<<and withdraws!

<<He said to him:

<<there,

<<where they deposited

<<in the flock

<<of

<<the shepherd

<<not

<<with his knowledge.

And so

<<two

<<utensils,

<<one

<<worth

<<a maneh

<<and one

<<worth

<<a thousand

<<zuz

<<etc.

<<And it is needed.

For if

<<it had taught us

<<that

<<first one,

<<in that one

<<say so

<<the Rabbis

<<because

<<there is no

<<loss;

<<but

<<in this one,

<<where there is

<<the loss

<<of the large one,

<<say

<<they concede

<<to him,

<<to Rabbi Yosei.

<<And if

<<it was stated

<<in this one,

<<in this one

<<says so

<<Rabbi Yosei;

<<but

<<in that one

<<say

<<he concedes

<<to them,

<<to the Rabbis.

<<It is needed.
