אֲבָל לֹא מָכַר לֹא אֶת הָאֲבָנִים שֶׁאֵינָן לְצָרְכָּהּ, וְלֹא אֶת הַקָּנִים שֶׁבַּכֶּרֶם שֶׁאֵינָן לְצָרְכּוֹ, וְלֹא אֶת הַתְּבוּאָה שֶׁהִיא תְלוּשָׁה מִן הַקַּרְקַע. בִּזְמַן שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ, הִיא וְכָל מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכָהּ, הֲרֵי כֻלָּן מְכוּרִין. בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ, לֹא מָכַר לֹא אֶת מְחִצַּת הַקָּנִים שֶׁהִיא בֵית רֹבַע, וְלֹא אֶת הַשּׁוֹמֵרָה שֶׁהִיא עֲשׂוּיָה בְטִיט, וְלֹא אֶת הֶחָרוּב הַמֻּרְכָּב, וְלֹא אֶת סַדַּן הַשִּׁקְמָה, וְלֹא אֶת הַבּוֹר, וְלֹא אֶת הַגַּת, וְלֹא אֶת הַשּׁוֹבָךְ, בֵּין חֲרֵבִין בֵּין יְשׁוּבִין. וְצָרִיךְ לִקַּח לוֹ דָרֶךְ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ. וּמוֹדֶה רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, בִּזְמַן שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ חוּץ מֵאֵלּוּ, שֶׁאֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לִקַּח לוֹ דָרֶךְ. מְכָרָן לְאַחֵר, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לִקַּח לוֹ דָרֶךְ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, צָרִיךְ לִקַּח לוֹ דָרֶךְ. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּמוֹכֵר. אֲבָל בְּנוֹתֵן מַתָּנָה, נוֹתֵן אֶת כֻּלָּם. הָאַחִין שֶׁחָלְקוּ, זָכוּ בַשָּׂדֶה, זָכוּ בְכֻלָּם. הַמַּחֲזִיק בְּנִכְסֵי הַגֵּר, הֶחֱזִיק בַּשָּׂדֶה, הֶחֱזִיק בְּכֻלָּם. הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֶת הַשָּׂדֶה, הִקְדִּישׁ אֶת כֻּלָּם. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֶת הַשָּׂדֶה, לֹא הִקְדִּישׁ אֶלָּא אֶת הֶחָרוּב הַמֻּרְכָּב וְאֶת סַדַּן הַשִּׁקְמָה:

But he has not sold the stones that are not being used for its purposes, nor the reeds in a vineyard that are not being used for its purposes, nor the produce that has already been picked from the ground. But if he had said, “It and all that is in it,” all of these are also sold. But either way he has not sold any partition of reeds that covers a quarter-[<i>kav</i>]’s space of ground, or the watchman’s hut if that was plastered with mortar, or grafted carob trees or cropped sycamores, or any cistern or winepress or dovecote, whether they are in ruin or in use. And he must purchase a path - these are the words of Rabbi Akiva. But the sages say: He need not. And Rabbi Akiva agrees that if he had said, “Excepting these”, he need not buy himself path. If he had sold them to another, Rabbi Akiva says: He [that bought them] need not buy himself a path. But the Sages say: He must buy himself a path. To what do these words refer? To a seller. But one who gives it as a gift gives all of it. If brothers divided [an inheritance, the one who] has rights to a field has rights to everything that is in it. One who is laying claim to the property of a convert, [once] he lays claim to the [convert’s] field, he lays claim to everything that is in it. One who dedicated a field [to the Temple] has dedicated everything in it. Rabbi Shimon says: One who dedicated a field [to the Temple] has dedicated only the grafted carob trees and cropped sycamores.
