משנה: אֵין מוֹכְרִין לָהֶם בִּמְחוּבָּר לַקַּרְקַע אֲבָל מוֹכֵר הוּא מִשֶּׁיִּקָּצֵץ. רִבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר מוֹכֵר הוּא לוֹ עַל מְנָת לָקוֹץ. MISHNAH: One does not sell to them anything connected to the ground, but one may sell for when it will be cut216This is a rule particular to the Land of Israel, to preserve the Jewish character of the land, as explained in Halakha 9. It does not apply to the diaspora.. Rebbi Jehudah says, he may sell for the purpose of cutting.
הלכה: אֵין מוֹכְרִין לָהֶם בִּמְחוּבָּר לַקַּרְקַע כול׳. רִבִּי בּוּן בַּר חִייָה בָעֵי. אַף בְּהֵמָה גַסָּה בַמַּחֲלוֹקֶת מוֹכֵר לוֹ עַל מְנָת לִשְׁחוֹט. אַשְׁכַּח תַּנֵּי. אַף בְּהֵמָה גַסָּה בַמַּחֲלוֹקֶת. רִבִּי יוּדָה אוֹמֵר. מוֹכֵר לוֹ עַל מְנָת לִשְׁחוֹט. HALAKHAH: “One does not sell to them anything connected to the ground,” etc. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya asked: Is there also a disagreement about large cattle? May one sell for the purpose of slaughter? It was found stated: Also large cattle is in dispute; Rebbi Jehudah says, he may sell for the purpose of slaughtering217Babli 20a. This is not dependent on the Land; it applies everywhere. The Babli defines R. Jehudah’s adversary as R. Meïr..
