Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Rosh Hashanah 9b
בָּאָרֶץ. הוּא הַדִּין דַּאֲפִלּוּ בְּחוּץ לָאָרֶץ, וְהָא דִּכְתִיב בָּאָרֶץ — לוֹמַר לָךְ, בִּזְמַן שֶׁנּוֹהֵג דְּרוֹר בָּאָרֶץ נוֹהֵג בְּחוּץ לָאָרֶץ.

English: “In the land.” The same applies even outside the Land; and the fact that it is written “in the land” is to tell you that when liberty applies in the Land it applies outside the Land.

Type of Learning

Classical derasha (Bavli Rosh Hashanah).

What Is Learned

Although the verse mentions “in the land,” the liberty of Yovel applies outside the Land as well when it applies inside the Land.
