משנה: הַמּוּדָר הֲנָיָיה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ וְאֵין לוֹ מַה יֹאכַל נוֹתְנוֹ לְאַחֵר מִשֵּׁם מַתָּנָה וְהַלָּהּ מוּתָּר בָּהּ. מַעֲשֶׂה בְּבֵית חוֹרוֹן בְּאֶחָד שֶׁהָיָה אָבִיו מוּדָּר מִמֶּנּוּ הֲנָיָיה וְהָיָה מַשִּׂיא אֶת בְּנוֹ וְאָמַר לַחֲבֵירוֹ הֲרֵי הֶחָצֵר וְהַסְּעוֹדָה נְתוּנִין לָךְ בְּמַתָּנָה וְהֵן בְּפָנֶיךְ עַד שֶׁיָּבוֹא אַבָּא וְיֹאכַל עִמָּנוּ בַּסְּעוּדָה. אָמַר לוֹ אִם שֶׁלִּי הֵם הֲרֵי הֵן מוּקְדָּשִׁין לַשָׁמַיִם. אָמַר לוֹ לֹא נָתַתִּי לָךְ אֶת שֶׁלִּי שֶׁתַּקְדִּישֵׁם לַשָּׁמַיִם. אָמַר לוֹ לֹא נָתַתָּה לִי אֶת שֶׁלָּךְ אֶלָּא שֶׁתְּהֵא אַתָּה וְאָבִיךָ אוֹכְלִים וְשׁוֹתִים וּמִתְרַצִּין זֶה לָזֶה וִיהֵא עָוֹן תָּלוּי בְּרֹאשִׁי. וּכְשֶׁבָּא דָבָר לִפְנֵי חֲכָמִים אָמְרוּ כָּל מַתָּנָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ שֶׁאִם הִקְדִּישָהּ אֵינָהּ מְקוּדֶּשֶׁת אֵינָהּ מַתָּנָה.
MISHNAH: If a person who by a vow was forbidden usufruct from another has nothing to eat, the other donates [food] as a gift to a third party and the person is permitted it. It happened in Bet Ḥoron with a person whose father was by a vow forbidden usufruct from him; when he married off his son he said to a friend, here the courtyard and the meal are given to you as a gift and they shall be yours until my father has come and eaten with us at the [wedding] meal. He said to him, if they are mine, they are dedicated to Heaven. He said, I did not give you my property that you should dedicate it to Heaven. He said to him, you gave me your property only that you and your father should eat, drink, and be friendly with one another and let the sin hang on my head. When the case came before the Sages they said, any gift with the proviso that if [the recipient] dedicated, it was not sanctified, is no gift.
