משנה: הָיְתָה שָׂדֵהוּ זְרוּעָה חִטִּים וְנִמְלַךְ לְזוֹרְעָהּ שְׂעוֹרִים יַמְתִּין לָהּ עַד שֶׁיַּתְלִיעַ וְיוֹפֵךְ וְאַחַר כָּךְ יִזְרַע. אִם צָמְחָה לֹא יֹאמַר אֶזְרַע וְאַחַר כָּךְ אוֹפֵךְ. אֶלָּא הוֹפֵךְ וְאַחַר כָּךְ זוֹרֵעַ. כַּמָּה יְהִי חָרוּשׁ כְּתַלְמֵי הָרְבִיעָה. אַבָּא שָׁאוּל אוֹמֵר כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יְשַׁיֵיר רוֹבַע לְבֵית סְאָה.
MISHNAH: If his field was sown with wheat and he changes his mind to sow it with barley, he should wait until it gets wormy, then he turns it over and after that he may sow. If it is sprouting, he should not say, I am going to sow and then turn it over, but he turns it over and then he sows. How deep does he have to plough? Like furrows for the rainy season. Abba Shaul says, so that there should not remain a quarter for a bet seah.
