Bekhorot 51A

זוזא מאכא בהדיה דלא נפיק, תקע ליה אחרינא ויהביה ניהליה.

an impaired dinar with him, which was not in circulation, and his victim did not want to accept it from him. Ḥanan the wicked then struck him another time, rendering himself liable to pay an additional fine of one-half a dinar, and gave him the full dinar as payment for both strikes.

שלשים של עבד, חמשים של אונס ושל מפתה וכו׳. הא תו למה לי? הא תנא ליה רישא!

§ The Mishnah teaches: The 30 shekels paid to the owner of a Canaanite slave who is killed by an ox, and the 50 shekels paid by a rapist and by a seducer, and the 100 shekels paid by the defamer are all paid in the shekel of the Sanctuary, which is calculated based on 100 Tyrian dinars. The Talmud asks: Why do I need this additional mention of: All are paid in the shekel of the Sanctuary, which is calculated based on 100 Tyrian dinars? The tanna of the Mishnah already taught this in the first clause.

אונס ומוציא שם רע איצטריך, סלקא דעתך אמינא: כיון דלא כתיב בהו ״שקלים״, אימא זוזי בעלמא, קא משמע לן דמילף קא ילפי מהדדי.

The Talmud explains: It was necessary to state the cases of the rapist and the defamer, as it might enter your mind to say: Since the term shekels is not written with regard to them, but only “money,” say that one pays merely dinars, and not shekels, which are worth 4 dinars. Therefore, the tanna teaches us that the halakhot of all these cases are derived from one another, and in all of them, the payment is in the shekel of the Sanctuary.

חוץ מן השקלים. תנא: חוץ מן השקלים, ומעשר, והראיון.

§ The Mishnah further teaches: And all monetary obligations are redeemed, i.e., paid, with coins or with items of the equivalent value of money, except for the half-shekels that are donated to the Temple each year, which must be given specifically as coins. The Talmud notes that it is taught in a baraita: All monetary obligations are redeemed with coins or with their equivalent value, except for the half-shekels, and second tithe, and the money for appearance, i.e., the two silver ma’a that every man must bring to the Temple to purchase burnt offerings of appearance on the pilgrimage Festivals, all of which must be given as coins.
