in measure

<<this

<<they acquired.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<never

<<does he

<<acquire

<<until

<<there is

<<pulling

<<with a camel

<<and leading

<<with a donkey.

It teaches

<<at any rate:

<<or

<<that was

<<one

<<pulling

<<and one

<<leading —

<<pulling

<<and leading,

<<yes;

<<but

<<riding,

<<no!

The same applies

<<that even

<<riding,

<<and this

<<that it teaches

<<pulling

<<and leading

<<is to exclude

<<the view of Rabbi Yehuda,

<<who said:

<<until

<<there is

<<pulling

<<with a camel

<<and leading

<<with a donkey;

<<it teaches us

<<that even

<<the reverse

<<too

<<acquires.

If so,

<<let him combine them

<<and teach them [together]:

<<two

<<who were

<<pulling

<<and leading,

<<whether

<<with a camel

<<or

<<with a donkey!

There is

<<one

<<side

<<that does not

<<acquire:

<<there are

<<who say

<<pulling

<<with a donkey,

<<and there are

<<who say

<<leading

<<with a camel.

And there are

<<who object

<<from the latter clause:

<<in measure

<<this

<<he acquired.

<<“In measure

<<this”

<<to exclude

<<what?

<<Is it not

<<to exclude

<<riding?!

<<No,

<<to exclude

<<the reverse.

If so,

<<that is the same as

<<Rabbi Yehuda!

<<There is

<<between them

<<a side

<<one

<<that does not

<<acquire:

<<there are

<<who say

<<pulling

<<with a donkey,

<<and there are

<<who say

<<leading

<<with a camel.

Come and hear:

<<one

<<riding

<<a donkey

<<and one

<<holding

<<the reins —

<<this one

<<acquired

<<the donkey,

<<and that one

<<acquired

<<the reins.

<<Learn from it:

<<riding

<<acquires!

Here too,

<<with one leading

<<with his feet.

<<If so,

<<let him acquire

<<also

<<the rider

<<the reins!

<<Say:

<<this one

<<acquired

<<the donkey

<<and half

<<the reins,

<<and that one

<<acquired

<<half

<<the reins.

Granted,

<<the rider

<<acquires,

<<for lifts

<<for him

<<one of

<<understanding;

<<but

<<the one holding

<<the reins —

<<by what

<<does he acquire?

Say:

<<this one

<<acquired

<<the donkey

<<and all of

<<the reins,

<<and that one

<<acquired

<<what

<<he holds

<<in his hand.

What is this?!

<<If you say

<<one who lifts

<<a found object

<<for his fellow

<<acquires

<<his fellow —

<<this applies

<<where

<<he

<<lifts

<<it

<<with intent

<<for his fellow;

<<this one

<<with intent

<<for himself

<<lifts

<<it:

<<he himself

<<does not

<<acquire —

<<for others

<<shall he acquire?!

Rav Ashi said:

<<this one

<<acquired

<<the donkey

<<and the place of

<<its bridle,

<<and that one

<<acquired

<<what

<<he holds

<<in his hand,

<<and the rest

<<did not

<<acquire

<<neither

<<this one

<<nor

<<that one.

Rabbi Abahu

<<said:

<<actually

<<as it teaches,

<<since

<<he can

<<pull it away

<<and bring it

<<to himself.

And this

<<of Rabbi Abahu

<<an error

<<it is;

<<for if

<<not

<<you say

<<so:

<<a garment

<<that is

<<lying

<<half of it

<<on

<<the ground

<<and half of it

<<on

<<a pillar,

<<and came

<<one

<<and lifted

<<half of it

<<from upon

<<the ground,

<<and came

<<another

<<and lifted

<<half of it

<<from upon

<<the pillar —

<<so too

<<that the first

<<acquires

<<and the latter

<<does not

<<acquire,

<<since

<<he can

<<pull it away

<<and bring it

<<to himself?!

<<Rather,

<<this

<<of Rabbi Abahu

<<an error

<<it is.

Come and hear,

<<Rabbi Eliezer

<<says:

<<riding

<<in the field

<<and leading

<<in the city

<<acquires!

<<Here too,

<<leading

<<with his feet.

<<If so,

<<that is the same as

<<leading!

<<Two

<<kinds of

<<leading.

If so,

<<riding

<<in the city

<<why

<<does it not

<<acquire?

<<Rav Kahana said:

<<because

<<it is not

<<the way

<<of

<<people

<<to ride

<<in the city.

Rav Ashi said to Rav Kahana:

<<But now,

<<if one lifted

<<a purse

<<on Shabbos —

<<since it is not

<<the way

<<of

<<people

<<to lift

<<a purse

<<on Shabbos —

<<so too

<<that he does not

<<acquire?

<<Rather,

<<what

<<he did

<<he did,

<<and he acquires;

<<here

<<too,

<<what

<<he did

<<he did,

<<and he acquires.

Rather,

<<with buying

<<and selling

<<we are dealing,

<<where he said

<<to him:

<<acquire

<<in the way

<<that people

<<acquire.
