15a)[line 18]שמסדרין (לבעל חוב) [בבעל חוב]MESADRIN B'VA'AL CHOV- We make the creditor leave certain basic necessities for the debtor when he collects his debt from the debtor's assets (RASHI explains "Mesadrin" to mean either "we assess" or "we let remain" (from the word "Serid," remnant)).

b)[line 19]מסדרין בערכיןMESADRIN B'ERCHIN

(a)An Erech (endowment valuation) refers to a special form of vow. If a person declares, "Erech Ploni Alai" ("I accept upon myself to give the endowment value of so-and-so [to Hekdesh]"), he must give the specific value that the Torah designates for the person's gender and age group as stated in Vayikra 27:1-8. It makes no difference at all whether the person is healthy or sick, strong or weak.

(b)If one wishes to pledge the value of an individual - whether his own or that of someone else:

1.For ages 1 month to 5 years - the Erech for males is 5 Shekalim and for females is 3 Shekalim

2.For ages 5 years to 20 years - the Erech for males is 20 Shekalim and for females is 10 Shekalim

3.For ages 20 yrs. to 60 years - the Erech for males is 50 Shekalim and for females is 30 Shekalim

4.For ages 60 years and older - the Erech for males is 15 Shekalim and for females is 10 Shekalim

(c)When a person is poor and does not have enough money to pay the Erech vow that he made, Hekdesh confiscates his assets, but leaves for him his basic necessities. When this is done, the person is considered to have fulfilled his vow, even if the assets confiscated from him do not equal the Erech amount that he pledged. (This is in contrast to "Mesadrin b'Va'al Chov," in which case the debtor has not fulfilled his obligation to repay the creditor until all of the money that he owes is paid back.)
