pply. They are
not to be cleared off from being private property, nor is their price to
be cleared off from being private property." Rabbi Maier said, "their
prices are to be cleared off from being private property till New Year's

private property, it is immaterial about their prices."

3. "The peelings and flower of the pomegranate, the shells and kernels of
nuts?" "To them the laws of the Sabbatical year apply, and to their prices
the laws of the Sabbatical year apply." The dyer may dye for himself, but
he must not dye for pay, because men must not trade in fruits of the
Sabbatical year, nor in the first-born, nor in heave-offerings, nor in
carcasses, nor in that which is torn, nor in abominations, nor in creeping

Sabbatical year apply, and to their prices the laws of the Sabbatical year
apply." "They are not to be cleared off from being private property, and

the laws of the Sabbatical year apply, and to their prices the laws of the
Sabbatical year apply." R. Simon said, "there is no Sabbatical year for
