He who buys a tree and its ground178By a contract which explicitly states that the ground is sold with the tree.

הלכה: תַּנֵּי חָכוֹרֵי בָּתֵּי אָבוֹת אֵינָן מְבִיאִין. רִבִּי יוּדָה אוֹמֵר הֵן עַצְמָן מְבִיאִין וְקוֹרִין. HALAKHAH: It was stated: Hereditary tenant farmers180They and their descendants have the permanent right to farm the property if they pay their rent on time. do not bring; Rebbi Jehudah says, they themselves bring and make the declaration.
רִבִּי זְעִירָה רִבִּי חִייָה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. בֶּחָכוֹרֵי בָּתֵּי אָבוֹת הִיא מַתְנִיתָה. רִבִּי הִילָא רִבִּי יָסֵי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּבַעֲלֵי אֲרִיסִיּוּת וְחָכוֹרוֹת הִיא מַתְנִיתָה. הֲווֹן בָּעֵיי מֵימַר מָאן דְּאָמַר בְּבַעֲלֵי אֲרִיסִיּוּת וְחָכוֹרוֹת הִיא מַתְנִיתָה. הָא בְּאָרִיס וֶחָכוֹר לֹא. בְּאָרִיס לְשָׁעָה וְחָכוֹר לְשָׁעָה. הָא בְּאָרִיס לְעוֹלָם וְבְחָכוֹר לְעוֹלָם מֵבִיא. אָתָא רִבִּי בָּא רִבִּי חִייָה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן אֲפִילוּ בְּאָרִיס לְעוֹלָם וְבְחָכוֹר לְעוֹלָם אֵינוֹ מֵבִיא. לָמָּה. בְּבַעֲלֵי אֲרִיסִיּוּת וְחָכוֹרוֹת הִיא מַתְנִיתָא. Rebbi Zeïra, Rebbi Ḥiyya, in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The Mishnah speaks of hereditary tenant farmers181Even these may not bring First Fruits according to the rabbis.. Rebbi Hila, Rebbi Assi, in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The Mishnah speaks of owners of sharecropping or tenant farming rights182It is not clear at this moment whether the farming rights are permanent, and there is no difference in meaning between the statements of R. Zeïra and R. Hila, or whether the rights are limited in time but the contract cannot be terminated by the landlord before its expiration date. In the second interpretation, the rabbis might agree that hereditary tenants may bring First Fruits.. They wanted to say, he who says the Mishnah speaks of owners of sharecropping or tenant farming rights, therefore not about simple sharecroppers or tenants183Who may be terminated at will by the landlord.. About a temporary sharecropper or tenant farmer184In this interpretation, farming rights for a limited time are treated as nonexistent for the question of First Fruits.; therefore a permanent sharecropper or tenant farmer might bring185Even according to the rabbis.. Rebbi Abba, Rebbi Ḥiyya came in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Even a permanent sharecropper or tenant farmer cannot bring. Why? The Mishnah speaks of owners of sharecropping or tenant farming rights186Of any kind..
