א הָא מַתְנִיתָא פְלִיגָא עַל מָאן דְּאָמַר הָרָאוּי לִיטּוֹל<i data-commentator="Notes by Heinrich Guggenheimer" data-label="121"></i> זָכָה דְּתַנֵּינָן תַּמָּן עִישּׂוּר אֶחָד שֶׁאֲנִי עָתִיד לִמוֹד נָתוּן לַעֲקִיבָה בֶּן יוֹסֵף שֶׁיִּזְכֶּה בוֹ לָעֲנִיִים וּמְקוֹמוֹ מוּשְׂכָּר לוֹ. וְרִבִּי עֲקִיבָה רָאוּי הוּא לִיטּוֹל. פָּתַר לָהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא הֶעֱשִׁיר. וַאֲפִילוּ תֵימָא מִשֶּׁהֶעֱשִׁיר תִּיפְתָּר בְּשֶׁהָיָה פַּרְנָס וְיַד הַפַּרְנָס כְּיַד הֶעָנִי.
1 The following Mishnah disagrees with him who says that he who may take may acquire, since we have stated there: “One tithe that I will measure in the future is given to Aqiba ben Joseph that he should let the poor acquire it, and its place is rented to him.” But is Rebbi Aqiba entitled to take? Explain it, before he got rich. And even if you say, after he became rich, when he was an administrator, and the hand of the administrator is equal to the hand of the poor.
ב מִילְתֵיהּ דְּרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי הָרָאוּי לִיטּוֹל זָכָה. דְּרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי אָמַר בְּבַעַל הַבַּיִת עָשִׁיר מַחְלוֹקֶת. אֲבָל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת עָנִי מִתּוֹךְ שֶׁרָאוּי לִיטוֹל זָכָה.
2 The word of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi is that he who may take may acquire, since Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said: They disagree about a rich owner. But in the case of a poor owner, since he has the right to take it, the other person acquired it.

3 Rebbi Ḥizqiah, Rebbi Jeremiah, in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: According to him who says that a Gentile may acquire real estate in the Land of Israel to free it from tithes. But according to him who says that a Gentile may not acquire real estate in the Land of Israel to free it from tithes, even if he declared it abandoned property it is obligated. Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: According to him who says that a Gentile may not acquire real estate in the Land of Israel to free it from tithes. But according to him who says that a Gentile may acquire real estate in the Land of Israel to free it from tithes, the Sages decreed special leniency for gleanings.
