One may not make jewelry for purposes of idol worship. Necklaces, nose rings, or rings. Rabbi Eliezer says, 'It is permissible to do so in return for a salary. One may not sell them (gentiles) produce that is unplucked. However one can sell it once it is harvested. Rabbi Yehuda says, 'One can sell (unplucked produce) with an agreement that it will be harvested.' 'One may not rent them houses in Eretz Yisrael. And it is not needed to say fields. (Fields automatically cannot be rented to gentiles due to the prohibition on selling them houses.) And in Syria, you can rent them houses, but not fields. And outside of the Land one can sell them houses and rent them fields'; the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yose says, 'In Eretz Yisrael it is permitted to rent them houses but not fields. In Syria it is permited to sell them houses and rent them fields. And outside of the Land, one can sell both one and the other.
