MISHNAH: Sabbatical produce should not be sold by measure, weight, or count. Figs may not be sold by count nor vegetables by weight. The House of Shammai say, not [vegetables] in bundles. But the House of Hillel say, anything usually stored in bundles in the house may be bundled on the market; for example leeks and milk bud.

HALAKHAH: Why? So it should be sold cheaply. Why could it not be cheaply sold by the pound? If you say so, he will not treat it as holy.

Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Mamal: If somebody measures with a box in which he made a sign two or three times, he may no longer use it for measuring. Rebbi Hoshaiah said, it is forbidden to say, give me your finger’s length.

If a butcher who is a Cohen gets hold of a first-born, may he cut it up into roasts and sell it on the market? Rebbi Jeremiah wanted to say it is permitted, analogous to “anything usually stored in bundles in the house may be bundled on the market”. Rebbi Mana said, that statement itself implies that it is forbidden, that he should not treat its body as merchandise.
