he designates

<<the name,

<<and does not

<<need

<<to separate [it].

What —

<<is it not

<<in this

<<that they disagree:

<<that one master

<<holds:

<<certain [poor man's tithe]

<<renders it tevel;

<<and one master

<<holds:

<<certain [poor man's tithe]

<<does not

<<render it tevel?

<<Said

<<to him

<<Abaye:

<<if so,

<<rather than disagreeing

<<about its doubtful case,

<<let them disagree

<<about the certain case!

Rather,

<<according to all

<<certain [poor man's tithe]

<<renders it tevel;

<<and here

<<in this

<<they disagree:

<<one master

<<holds:

<<were not

<<suspected

<<the amei ha'aretz

<<regarding

<<poor man's tithe

<<of

<<demai —

<<since

<<money

<<it is,

<<he certainly separates it.

<<And the Rabbis

<<hold:

<<since

<<is burdensome

<<for him

<<the matter,

<<he does not

<<separate it.

‘How much

<<must he eat

<<of

<<the untithed produce’

<<etc.:

<<Rav Bivi said in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish:

<<the dispute is

<<with a wheat grain,

<<but

<<with flour

<<all agree

<<an olive's bulk.

<<And Rabbi Yirmeya

<<said

<<Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish [said]:

<<as the dispute

<<in this,

<<so

<<the dispute

<<in that.

We learned:

<<said

<<to them

<<Rabbi Shimon:

<<do not

<<you

<<agree

<<with me

<<that one who eats

<<an ant

<<of any size,

<<that he

<<is liable?

<<They said

<<to him:

<<because

<<it is

<<as it was created.

<<He said

<<to them:

<<also

<<a wheat grain

<<single

<<is as it was created.

<<A wheat grain —

<<yes;

<<flour —

<<no!

According to their words

<<he was speaking

<<to them:

<<for me,

<<even

<<flour

<<too;

<<but

<<for you —

<<agree

<<with me

<<at least

<<that a wheat grain

<<single

<<is as it was created.

<<And the Rabbis:

<<a creature with a soul

<<is significant;

<<a wheat grain

<<is not

<<significant.

<<It is taught

<<in accordance with

<<Rabbi Yirmeya:

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<says:

<<any amount

<<for lashes;

<<they did not

<<say

<<an olive's bulk

<<except

<<with regard to

<<an offering.

MISHNAH:

<<One who eats

<<bikkurim

<<before

<<he recited

<<over them;

<<offerings of the most sacred order

<<outside

<<the curtains;

<<offerings of lesser sanctity

<<or second tithe

<<outside

<<the wall;

<<one who breaks

<<a bone

<<of the Pesach offering

<<that is pure —

<<behold

<<this one

<<is flogged

<<forty.

<<But

<<one who leaves over

<<from a pure one,

<<or breaks

<<in an impure one,

<<is not

<<flogged

<<forty.

One who takes

<<the mother

<<with

<<the young —

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<he is flogged

<<and does not

<<send [her] away.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<he sends [her] away

<<and is not

<<flogged.

<<This is

<<the rule:

<<any

<<commandment

<<of a prohibition

<<that has

<<in it

<<‘arise and act’ —

<<they are not

<<liable

<<for it.

GEMARA:

<<Rabba bar bar Chana said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan:

<<this is

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Akiva

<<unattributed;

<<but

<<the Sages

<<say:

<<bikkurim —

<<placing [them]

<<is indispensable

<<to them;

<<reciting

<<is not

<<indispensable

<<to them.

But let him say:

<<this is

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Shimon

<<unattributed!

<<This is what it teaches us:

<<that Rabbi Akiva

<<like Rabbi Shimon

<<holds.

What is

<<[the view of] Rabbi Shimon?

<<As it is taught:

<<‘and the terumah of

<<your hand’ —

<<these are

<<bikkurim.

Rabbi Shimon said:

<<what

<<has come

<<this

<<to teach us?

<<If

<<for eating them

<<outside

<<the wall —

<<it is an a fortiori

<<from tithe,

<<the lenient one:

<<if

<<tithe,

<<the lenient one —

<<one who eats it

<<outside

<<the wall

<<is flogged;

<<bikkurim,

<<how much more so?

<<So

<<has not

<<come

<<the verse

<<except

<<for one who eats

<<bikkurim

<<before

<<he recited

<<over them,

<<that he

<<is flogged.

‘And your free-will offerings’ —

<<this is

<<the thanksgiving offering

<<and peace-offerings.

<<Rabbi Shimon said:

<<what

<<has come

<<this

<<If

<<for eating them

<<So

<<the thanksgiving offering

<<or peace-offerings

<<before

<<that he

‘And firstborn’ —

<<this is

<<the firstborn offering.

<<Rabbi Shimon said:

<<the firstborn

<<even

‘Your cattle

<<and your flock’ —

<<this is

<<the sin-offering

<<and guilt-offering.

<<Rabbi Shimon said:

‘Your vows’ —
