משנה: נִתַּיי אִישׁ תְּקוֹעַ הֵבִיא חַלּוֹת מִבַּיְיתוּר וְלֹא קִיבְּלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. אַנְשֵׁי אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרִיאָה הֵבִיאוּ חַלּוֹתֵיהֶן מֵאֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרִיאָה וְלֹא קִיבְּלוּ מֵהֶן. אַנְשֵׁי הַר צְבוֹעִים הֵבִיאוּ בִּיכּוּרֵיהֶם קוֹדֶם לָעֲצֶרֶת וְלֹא קִיבְּלוּ מֵהֶן. מִפְּנֵי הַכָּתוּב שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה וְחַג הַקָּצִיר בִּיכּוּרֵי מַעֲשֶׂיךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּזְרַע בַּשָּׂדֶה. בֶּן אֲטִיטַס הֶעֱלָה בְּכוֹרוֹת מִבָּבֶל וְלֹא קִבְּלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. יוֹסֵף הַכֹּהֵן הֵבִיא בִּיכּוּרָיו יַיִן וְשֶׁמֶן וְלֹא קִבְּלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. אַף הוּא הֶעֱלָה אֶת בָּנָיו וְאֶת בְּנֵי בֵיתוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח קָטָן בִּירוּשָׁלֵם וְהֶחֱזִירוּהוּ שֶׁלֹּא יִקְבַּע הַדָּבָר לְדוֹרוֹת. אֲרִסְטוֹן הֵבִיא בִּיכּוּרָיו מֵאַפָּמֵיָא וְקִבְּלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאָמְרוּ הַקּוֹנֶה בְסוּרִיָּא כְקוֹנֶה בְּפַרְוָור יְרוּשָׁלֵם.
MISHNAH: Nittai from Tekoa brought ḥallot from Baithur but they did not accept from him. The people of Alexandria brought their ḥallot from Alexandria but they did not accept from them. The people from Hyena Mountain brought their First Fruits before Pentecost but they did not accept from them because of the verse in the Torah: (Ex. 23:16) “The pilgrimage holiday of harvest, the First Fruits of your work from sowing the field.” Ben-Atitas brought firstlings from Babylonia and they did not accept them. Joseph the Cohen brought his First Fruits as wine and oil and they did not accept them. He also brought his children and members of his household to make the second Passover in Jerusalem but they turned him back so as not to create a precedent for the future. Ariston brought his First Fruits from Apamea and they accepted them for they said, he who buys in Syria is like him who buys in the suburbs of Jerusalem.
