הַמַּחֲזִיר חוֹב בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, רוּחַ חֲכָמִים נוֹחָה מִמֶּנּוּ.
הַלֹּוֶה מִן הַגֵּר שֶׁנִּתְגַּיְּרוּ בָנָיו עִמּוֹ, לֹא יַחֲזִיר לְבָנָיו.
וְאִם הֶחֱזִיר, רוּחַ חֲכָמִים נוֹחָה מִמֶּנּוּ.
כָּל הַמִּטַּלְטְלִין, נִקְנִין בִּמְשִׁיכָה.

All movable property is acquired by [the act of] drawing it [to oneself].
And anyone who keeps his word - the spirit of the Sages is pleased with him:

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.
