Text Excerpt

ואנא דאמרי כרבי יוסי.

But I, R' Yoḥanan, said what I said in accordance with the opinion of R' Yosei that a priest who is a hermaphrodite enables his wife to eat teruma, and R' Yosei himself maintains that even nowadays the halakha of teruma is in effect by Torah law. Accordingly, I argued that a hermaphrodite enables his wife to eat not only teruma, but even the breast and thigh of peace-offerings.

דתניא בסדר עולם: ״אשר ירשו אבותיך וירשתה״, ירושה ראשונה ושניה ⁠— יש להן, ושלישית ⁠— אין להן.

As it is taught in a baraita in the anthology called Seder Olam, with regard to a verse that speaks of the Jewish people’s return to Eretz Yisrael following their exile: “And YHWH your God will bring you into the land that your fathers inherited, and you should inherit it” (Deuteronomy 30:5). These two expressions of inheritance teach that they had a first inheritance of Eretz Yisrael in the days of Joshua and a second inheritance at the time of the return from the Babylonian exile. That is to say, since the sanctity of the land had lapsed when the First Temple was destroyed and the Jewish people exiled to Babylonia, a second sanctification was necessary when they returned to their land. But they will not have a third inheritance. In other words, it will never be necessary to sanctify the land for a third time, as the second sanctification was permanent.

ואמר רבי יוחנן: מאן תנא סדר עולם ⁠— רבי יוסי.

And R' Yoḥanan said: Who is the tanna who taught Seder Olam? It is R' Yosei. Since R' Yosei maintains that the second sanctification of Eretz Yisrael never lapsed even after the destruction of the Second Temple, he also holds that teruma nowadays is in effect by Torah law.
