Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Kiddushin 58a
יוֹבֵל הִוא. תַּנְיָא, יָכוֹל כְּשֵׁם שֶׁשְּׁבִיעִית תּוֹפֶסֶת דָּמֶיהָ כָּךְ שְׁאָר אִסּוּרִין תּוֹפְסִין דְּמֵיהֶם, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר יוֹבֵל הִוא — הִיא אִין, מִידֵּי אַחֲרִינָא לֹא.

English: “It is a Yovel.” It was taught: One might think that just as Shevi’is seizes its value [into the money], so other prohibitions seize their value; the verse says “it is a Yovel” — it yes, anything else no.

Type of Learning

Classical derasha (Bavli Kiddushin).

What Is Learned
