1) IS A BLIND PERSON EXILED?

(a) Answer (Rava): The law by exile is learned from its context; also, the law by vows.

1. R. Yehudah holds, "That will come with his friend into a forest" - this include anyone that can enter a forest, even a blind person;

i. Therefore, "Without seeing" is not needed to include a blind person - rather, it excludes him.

2. R. Meir holds, "Without knowing" - someone that could know, which excludes a blind person';

i. Therefore, "Without seeing" is not needed to exclude a blind person - rather, it includes him.

(a) (Mishnah): Reuven vowed not to benefit his son-in-law, and he wants to give his daughter money. He tells her: 'This money is a gift to you, on condition that your husband has no jurisdiction over it; it is only given for you to buy food with it and to eat the food.'
(b) (Gemara - Rav): This only works when he says 'It is only given for you to buy food with it and to eat the food'; if he says 'Do as you want with it', her husband acquires the money.
(c) (Shmuel): Even if he says 'Do as you want with it', her husband does not acquire the money.

(d) Question (R. Zeira): Here, Rav is as R. Meir, who says that a husband acquires everything his wife gets;

1. Contradiction (Mishnah, which is assumed to be as R. Meir): To make a partnership in an alley (to permit carrying in it on Shabbos) one takes a barrel of wine, and says that it should be for everyone whose courtyard opens into the alley;
2. Someone else acquires the wine on their behalf - it can be the male or female (Yisrael) slave of the donor, or his adult son or daughter, or his wife.
3. (Summation of question): If a husband acquires all that his wife acquires - if she acquires on behalf of the others, the wine never left the husband's domain!

(e) Answer #1 (Rava): R. Meir does says that a husband acquires everything his wife gets (from othes); regarding the partnership in an alley, since she acquires for them from her husband, she can acquire for others.
(f) Question (Ravina - Beraisa): A person can give to others through his adult children, or his Hebrew slaves;

1. He cannot give to others through his minor children, or through his Kenanite slaves; or through his wife.

(g) Answer #2 (Rav Ashi): The Mishnah (regarding an alley) is a case in which his wife owns a courtyard that opens into the alley.

1. Since she can acquire the wine for herself, she can also acquire it for the others.

(a) (Mishnah): What is the case of "The vow of a widow or divorcee will stand"? If a single girl vowed to be a Nezirah after 30 days, even though she got married within the 30 days, her husband cannot annul the vow;
