Text Excerpt
רבא אמר: אפילו תימא רבנן, כי מקני לה — נמי במלתא דצריכא לה, במילתא דלא צריכא לה — לא מקני לה.
Rava said: You can even say that the Mishnah is in accordance with the opinion of the Rabbis, and the reason the animal loses its sanctity is that even when he transfers it to her, he does so for a matter that is necessary for her to bring, but for a matter that is not necessary for her to bring, he does not transfer it to her.
אם שלה היתה בהמתה, חטאת — תמות, ועולה — תקרב. היא מנא לה? האמרת: מה שקנתה אשה קנה בעלה! אמר רב פפא: שקמצתה מעיסתה. איבעית אימא: דאקני לה אחר, ואמר לה: ״על מנת שאין לבעליך רשות בהן״.
§ The Mishnah teaches: If the animal was hers, the sin-offering must be left to die and the burnt-offering is sacrificed. The Talmud asks: She, this married woman, from where does she have her own property? Haven’t you said as a principle that with regard to any item that a woman acquires, her husband automatically acquires it from her? Rav Pappa said: This is referring to a case where she saved it from her dough, i.e., she was able to buy the animal with the money she saved by eating less. And if you wish, say instead that another person transferred the property to her, and he said to her that he is doing so on the condition that your husband has no rights to it. In that case the wife is the exclusive owner of the animal.
העולה — תקרב עולה, והשלמים — תקרב כו׳. אמר ליה שמואל לאבוה בר איהי: לא תיתיב על כרעיך עד דאמרת לי הדא מילתא: ואלו הן ארבעה אילים שאינן טעונין לחם: שלו, ושלה, ושלאחר המיתה, ושלאחר כפרה.
§ The Mishnah taught that the burnt-offering is sacrificed as a burnt-offering and the peace-offering is sacrificed as a peace-offering. Shmuel said to Avuh bar Ihi: You should not sit on your feet until you say and explain to me this matter taught in a baraita: And these are the 4 rams of the nazirite’s offering that do not require bread to be brought with them, in contrast to the usual practice: His, hers, the one brought after death, and the one brought after the nazirite has gained atonement by means of a different offering.
