עארוכות סי' קמ"ב באורך מרדכי שם. ואם ישראל יצטרך למעות ואמר לישראל הא לך העירבון של עכו"ם ואח"כ טען שלי הוא ורימיתיך יכול המלוה לעכב המשכון עד שיתן לו הריבית אפי' לוה שרוצה לישבע שאינו של עכו"ם ואמר זה איני מאמין אלא לדבריך הראשונים. ודבר זה רפיא בידי:
Q. A gave a pledge to B telling him that it was a Gentile's pledge, and that he would allow B to collect the interest on the loan he had extended to the Gentile if B would refund him the principal of that loan. B gave him the money and took the pledge as security. Subsequently, A told B that he was not entitled to any interest since the pledge belonged to a Jew, and that he had previously lied to him concerning the original owner of the pledge. A. B may insist that he believes A's first statement only, even if A is ready to take an oath as to the truth of his second statement. Therefore, if A gave the pledge to B at the time B gave him the money, B may keep the pledge until A pays him the promised interest. SOURCES: Pr. 142; Rashba I, 858; Mord. B.M. 338, Cf. L. 448.
