Text Excerpt
ביאה ומושב כתיב בהו?! הכי קאמר: ללמד שכל מקום שנאמר ביאה ומושב אינו אלא לאחר ירושה וישיבה, דברי רבי ישמעאל.
both the term: Coming, and the term: residence, are written: “When you come into the land of your dwellings” (Numbers 15:2). How, then, can R' Yishmael cite this example to teach about cases where only the term residence is written? The Talmud answers that this is what the baraita is saying: This teaches that wherever both coming and residence are stated, it applies only after inheritance and settlement of Eretz Yisrael; this is the statement of R' Yishmael.
אי הכי, אמר לו רבי עקיבא: הרי שבת שנאמר בו ״מושבות״, ואמר לו: שבת קל וחומר היא, נימא ליה: אנא ביאה ומושב קאמינא! חדא ועוד קאמר ליה, חדא – דאנא ביאה ומושב קאמינא. ועוד: דקא אמרת הרי שבת שנאמר בו ״מושבות״ – שבת קל וחומר היא.
The Talmud asks: If so, consider that R' Akiva said to him: But there is the verse stated with regard to Shabbat (Leviticus 23:3), in which it is stated “dwellings,” and R' Yishmael said to him: Shabbat is derived through an a fortiori inference. But let R' Yishmael say to R' Akiva instead: I say my principle only when coming and residence are both written, and in the case of Shabbat the verse states only the term residence. The Talmud answers: R' Yishmael states one reason and adds another reason. One reason is that I say my principle only when coming and residence are written together. And another reason: With regard to that which you say that there is the case of Shabbat, in which it is stated “dwellings,” Shabbat is derived through an a fortiori inference.
במאי קמיפלגי? בקירבו נסכים במדבר קא מיפלגי. רבי ישמעאל סבר: לא קירבו נסכים במדבר. ורבי עקיבא סבר: קירבו נסכים במדבר.
The Talmud asks: With regard to what do R' Yishmael and R' Akiva disagree? The Talmud answers: They disagree with regard to whether the Jews sacrificed libations in the wilderness. R' Yishmael maintains: They did not sacrifice libations in the wilderness, as the obligation to sacrifice libations came into effect only once they were living in Eretz Yisrael. And R' Akiva maintains: They did sacrifice libations in the wilderness. R' Akiva derives a different halakha from the term residence.
