One Who Deposits
Question
What, in the Rabbi's view, is Rava's reasoning in the case of "one who deposits"—that it is regarded as though he said to him… "Behold, my cow is acquired by you from now"?
How can an acquisition take effect when there was no explicit agreement between the two parties?
Answer
There is implicit agreement. That is the presumption regarding their intent at the time of the deposit. See the Ritva there.
Thank you.
