Catalogue Note
Arakhin (Valuations), fifth tractate of the order Kodashim. discusses the valuation of various objects—persons, houses, fields of possession (i.e., inherited fields, bought fields), and devoted things—which have been dedicated to the sanctuary. Interestingly there is a discussion of gifts by non-Jews to the Temple and to synagogues in the Land of Israel.
