Meilah 5:2-3

Meilah 5:2

If one derived benefit worth half a prutah and the item depreciated in value half a prutah, or if one derived benefit worth a prutah and depreciated another item in the value of a prutah – in either of these cases, misappropriation doesn’t apply until he derives benefit worth a prutah and depreciates the same item’s value by a prutah.

Meilah 5:3

When it comes to consecrated property, there is no misappropriation after misappropriation; there is only misappropriation after misappropriation in the cases of an animal and a Temple vessel, as follows: If a person rode on a (consecrated) animal and then his friend came along and rode on it, and then yet another friend came along and rode on it, or if he drank from a golden vessel and then his friend came along and drank from it, then yet another friend came along and drank from it, or if he plucked wool from a sin offering, then his friend came along and plucked wool from it, then yet another friend came along and plucked wool from it, in all of these cases, they are all guilty of misappropriation. Rebbi says that whatever can’t be redeemed is subject to misappropriation after misappropriation.
