MISHNAH: How does one designate First Fruits? A person comes into his field and there sees an early ripening fig, an early ripening bunch of grapes, an early ripening pomegranate; he binds them with bast and says, “these are First Fruits.” Rebbi Simeon says, nevertheless he repeats and calls them First Fruits after they have been separated from the ground.

HALAKHAH: “How does one designate First Fruits? Etc.” In the opinion of Rebbi Simeon, if he did not call them when they were picked they are not sanctified, they do not create dema‘, one is not required to add a fifth, and one is not whipped for them outside the wall. What is the reason of the rabbis? (Deut. 26:10) “Now, behold, I brought the first of the fruits of the earth.” At the moment of presentation it must be a fruit, but also at the moment of dedication? Even unripe grapes, even unripe figs! In the opinion of Rebbi Simeon, since at the moment of presentation it must be a fruit, so also at the moment of dedication it must be a fruit.

It was stated: First Fruits one in sixty. The first of shearings, one in sixty. Impure heave, one in sixty. Rebbi Ismael stated: First Fruits one in sixty. Peah one in sixty. The first of shearings, one in sixty. Impure heave, one in sixty. Heave for which the Cohanim do not care, one in sixty. What do you have? E. g., the heave of kelesin, carob, and red barley.
