Text Excerpt
גמ׳ אמר רבי יצחק ברבי יוסי אמר רבי יוחנן: הכל מודים באומר ״תחול זו״ ואחר כך ״תחול זו״ — דברי הכל תפוס לשון ראשון.
Talmud: R' Yitzḥak, son of R' Yosei, says that R' Yoḥanan says, with regard to the disagreement between R' Meir and R' Yosei: Everyone concedes in a case where one says: The consecration of this animal as a substitute for a burnt offering will take effect and afterward the consecration of this animal as a substitute for a peace offering will take effect. In this case, everyone agrees that one attends only to the first statement, i.e., the sanctity of the burnt offering takes effect but the sanctity of the peace offering does not take effect.
״לא תחול זו אלא אם כן חלתה זו״ — תרווייהו קדשי.
Likewise, everyone agrees that in a case where one says: Consecration of this animal as a substitute for a burnt offering should not take effect unless the consecration of this animal as a substitute for a peace offering should also take effect, the animal is consecrated as both a burnt offering and a peace offering.
לא נחלקו אלא כגון משנתינו, דאמר ״תמורת עולה תמורת שלמים״, דרבי מאיר סבר: מדהוה ליה למימר ״תמורת עולה ושלמים״, ואמר ״תמורת עולה תמורת שלמים״ — הויא ליה כאומר ״תחול זו ואחר כך תחול זו״.
R' Meir and R' Yosei disagree only with regard to a case such as the one in our Mishnah, where one said: This animal is the substitute of the burnt offering, the substitute of the peace offering. As R' Meir holds: Since if he wanted both sanctities to take effect, he should have said: The substitute of the burnt offering and the peace offering, but instead he said: The substitute of the burnt offering, the substitute of the peace offering, he is considered like one who says: The consecration of this animal as a substitute for a burnt offering will take effect and afterward the consecration of this animal as a substitute for a peace offering will take effect. Therefore, according to R' Meir only the first sanctity takes effect; the second sanctity cannot take effect because the animal is already consecrated.
