Ameimar paskens on the issue regarding how one can transfer a document of a loan to another. There are 2 different versions of the gemara – each having the opposite conclusion. The gemara questions Ameimar and then resolves the contradiction. The mishna then discusses other parts of an item that one acquires or doesn’t acquire with the sale of the item. There is a debate in the mishna whether or not we can look at the amount of money and that will be telling about what the purchase was for.

How can we reconcile Rav Huna with Rabbi Shimon? The gemara suggests one possibility but it is rejected based on an understanding of Rabbi Shimon’s opinion elsewhere in a braita regarding one who consecrates a field. Based on also a contradiction within Rabbi Shimon’s statement in our mishna and Rabbi Shimon in the braita, the gemara concludes that RAbbi Shimon in our mishna is not actually his own opinion but what he thinks the rabbis should hold according to their opinion. The gemara then questions Rabbi Shimon’s opinion in the braita with an opinion of Rabbi Shimon’s in another case.

If generally something is not included in a sale – like trees in the field, if one says I am selling you the field without one specific tree, does that mean that all the other trees are included or are none of the trees included? By adding words, can it actually make it worse for the seller? If one gives something to another to watch and has a document to prove it, can the shomer claim he/she returned it (even though the document is still in the hands of the other) because since he/she could claim accidental damage, he/she is believed by a migo that it was returned?
