[If he says:] ‘‘They are from my property,’’ one is obligated to tithe [them]. [But if he adds:] ‘‘They are tithed,’’ he is believed, because the very mouth that has forbidden is the mouth that has permitted.

[If] a convert and an idolater inherited their father, an idolater, [the convert] may say: ‘‘You take the idols and I the money; you the wine and I the produce.’’ However, if [the idols and wine] have already come into the possession of the convert, it is forbidden.
