Талмуд к Дварим 3:17

¹⁰⁰A similar discussion in Babli Bekhorot 55a. There, the first opinion is declared to be that of R. Simeon ben Ioḥai, the second that of R. Jehudah ben Bathyra, and the third that of R. Meїr. Some Tannaïm state: The Jordan is part of the Land of Israel. Some state, the Jordan is outside the Land. Some state, the Jordan is a boundary by itself. He who says the Jordan is part of the Land of Israel: (Deut. 3:17) “The prairie, the Jordan, and the border.” He who says the Jordan is outside the Land: (Jos. 18:20): “The Jordan shall form its border Eastward.” He who says the Jordan is a boundary by itself, if it is in one place. ¹⁰¹Tosephta Ketubot 8:4, Baba Qama 10:23, Babli Baba Meẓi‘a 22a. The argument there is that a change in the river bed is an act of God against which the property owners are powerless; one may therefore assume that the owners have given up hope to recover their land; the part taken by the river now is ownerless.“If the Jordan took from one place and gave to another, what it took, it took, and what it gave, it gave.” What are we dealing with? If it was from the Land of Israel and became Syria¹⁰²This is a very unlikely scenario. The Jordan is meandering only between the Land of Israel and Transjordan., it already is under the presumptive obligation of tithes and Sabbatical! Rebbi Jeremiah, Rebbi Immi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi, for claims of possession¹⁰³It is assumed that people do not keep documents for more than three years. Therefore, a person who claims to have legal possession of real estate by sale or inheritance, in the absence of a title can prove his claim by showing undisturbed possession for three years. Such a claim cannot be brought simultaneously for property inside and outside the Land., removals¹⁰⁴The required consumption of Sabbatical produce which varies from region to region, Ševi‘it 9:2., and animal tithe¹⁰⁵This is the topic of Babli Bekhorot 55a.. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: Only if it removed earth.
