Meilah 5:4-5

Meilah 5:4

If someone – specifically, a Temple treasurer – took a stone or a beam of Temple property, he is not guilty of misappropriation (because it’s still in possession of a representative of the Temple treasury). If he gave it to a friend, he is guilty of misappropriation but the friend is not (because there’s no misappropriation after misappropriation). If that Temple treasurer built what he took into his house, he is not guilty of misappropriation until he has lived under it and benefitted in the value of a prutah. If he took a prutah from Temple property, he has not committed misappropriation; if he gave it to a friend, he is guilty of misappropriation but the friend is not. If he gave the prutah to a bathhouse attendant, he is guilty of misappropriation even if he hasn’t yet bathed. This is because, as soon as he pays, the bathhouse keeper grants him the right of access.

Meilah 5:5

If a person ate something consecrated and gave some to a friend to eat, or if he derived benefit from some and gave some to a friend to benefit from, or if he ate some and gave some to a friend to benefit from, or if he derived benefit from some and gave some to a friend to eat – all of these combine with one another even after a significant length of time.
