Core Text
וַאֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה לְךָ – הַמַּלְוֶה עַל הַמַּשְׁכּוֹן אֵין הַשְּׁבִיעִית מְשַׁמַּטְתּוֹ, מַאי טַעְמָא דִּכְתִיב וַאֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה לְךָ אֶת אָחִיךָ תַּשְׁמֵט יָדֶךָ וְלֹא אֲשֶׁר שֶׁל אָחִיךָ בְּיָדֶךָ.

English: "And that which is yours" — One who lends against a pledge—the seventh year does not cancel the debt, because it is written "and that which is yours with your brother your hand shall release," and not that which is your brother’s in your hand.

On the daf / in context: A loan secured by a physical pledge that remains in the creditor’s possession is not cancelled by shemittah.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Sheviis) — a secured loan is not cancelled.

What Is Learned
