Yochanan said that under Biblical law, the payment of money acquires
movables. And why did the Rabbis say that drawing an object to oneself
acquires the movable property, but paying money does not? Out of
concern that the buyer may pay but not take delivery of the goods, then
if a fire breaks out, the seller would not take sufficient measures to
save them, since he has already been paid.
