Introduction


Hebrew Text

עבד כנעני נקנה בכסף, ובשטר, ובחזקה;
וקונה את עצמו בכסף על ידי אחרים, ובשטר על ידי עצמו;
דברי רבי מאיר.
וחכמים אומרין:
אף בכסף על ידי עצמו, ובשטר על ידי אחרים,
ובלבד שיהא הכסף, משל אחרים.

English Translation

A Canaanite slave is acquired with money, a contract or establishment of possession;
and acquires himself with money by a third party or a contract by himself;
these are the word of Rabbi Meir.
The Sages say:
even with money by himself and a contract by a third party,
providing that the money belong to a third party.
