The logic behind sermons.
Peace and blessings!
1. What is the logic behind the shekel and the tarya at the beginning of the chapter of Rauba, according to which we learn from the general and particular and general that double payments will only be due in that which belongs to the holy of holies, as well as in the other suggestions that the rabbinic court raised there?
2. What is the logic that slaves’ land and bills are not stolen?
3. What is the logic behind the fact that slaves’ land and notes are exempt from the law of protection/guardianship from paying for them?
Difficult questions and I don’t have time to go into them now (also to think, not just to answer). I will write from the freezer:
1. Each option should be discussed in its entirety. Each one needs to be thought about separately, and so on.
2. On the ground, the logic is clear. It also seems that slaves are human beings and there is no robbery in them. Banknotes are not money, and therefore it is actually a crime of robbery (except for the stone according to its saucer), since the debt is still in sight.
3. The explanations in section 2 are also relevant in the keeper (with regard to damage to land, the Maimonides and the Rabbis disagreed on whether it was land or money).
