Which of these DOES trigger a Biblical oath for partial admission?
Land, slaves, and promissory notes are exempt from Biblical oaths. Movable property like garments and utensils do trigger the Biblical partial-admission oath.
Question 2
A plaintiff claims two fields and one utensil. The defendant admits one field and the utensil, but denies the other field. What is the minimum oath required?
Since the defendant admitted part of the utensils (movable property) and the land was part of the same claim, the Biblical oath on movables encompasses the entire claim.
Question 3
A plaintiff claims two months' rent. The defendant says only one month passed. What type of oath applies?
The claim is not about the land itself but about rent, which is movable property. Movable partial admission rules apply and a Biblical oath is required.
Question 4
A minor claims a maneh from an adult. The adult denies it entirely. What happens?
The Rambam rules that heset is required on a minor's claim to protect the minor from exploitation. But no oath — not even a conditional ban — is imposed on the minor.
Question 5
Why is consecrated property treated differently from land regarding oaths?
Sages instituted a Torah-resembling oath (with sacred article) for consecrated property disputes to ensure people take such matters seriously and don't treat sacred property carelessly.
