 Summary 

When hekdesh is redeemed, it becomes chullin and the money becomes kodesh. With Shvi’is the original shvi’is always remains kodesh (32.5), but the money it was redeemed upon may become chullin when it is redeemed. How to redeem it is a matter of debate between Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Yochanan.

 Rabbi Elazar: Shvi’is can only be redeemed by means of “sale” (not by “redemption” using your own money only by selling it to someone else).

 Rabbi Yochanan: It can be redeemed both by means of “sale” or by “redemption”. 

 Rabbi Elazar bases his opinion on the possuk “When you sell your things” which is written near Yovel (which has the same laws as shvi’is). 

 Rabbi Yochanan bases his opinion on the possuk “Yovel is Kodesh” this means that the same means of redemption which apply to Kodesh, apply to Yovel and Shevi’is.

 Challenge: Why doesn’t Rabbi Yochanan learn Rabbi Elazar’s hekesh? 

 Resolution: It is necessary for the teaching of Rabbi Yosi bar Chanina in the beraisa: 

 Rabbi Yosi bar Chanina: Come and see how heavy is the dust of Shvi’is (because using shvi’is improperly is only an issur eseh, it’s considered like dust): One who deals with fruit of shvi’is will be forced to sell off all his chattel (if he tries to make money on shvi’is, Hakodosh Boruch Hu will impoverish him) this is why the possuk “When you sell your things” is written near Yovel.
