The Jerusalem Talmud Jerusalem Talmud Terumot 9.2

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: The growth from heave is heave; the growth from their growth is profane. But the growths from ṭevel, First Tithe, aftergrowth of the Sabbatical, heave from outside the Land, demaʻ, and First Fruits are profane. Growths from dedicated [seeds] and Second Tithe are profane; one redeems them corresponding to the time of sowing. One hundred lagenae of heave and one profane are all permitted for produce whose seeds desappear; but for produce whose seeds do not disappear, even if there are one hundred profane and one of heave they all are forbidden. Growth from ṭevel is permitted for anything whose seeds disappear, but if the seeds do not disappear even the growth from the growth is forbidden. What is one whose seeds do not disappear? For example arum, garlic, and onions. Rebbi Jehudah says, garlic is like barley.

HALAKHAH: We have stated on this: When has this been said? Anything whose seeds disappear. But in produce whose seeds do not disappear, the growth from their growth is forbidden. But ṭevel is mostly profane, First Tithe is mostly profane, aftergrowth of the Sabbatical is infrequent, heave from outside the Land is infrequent, most of dema‘ is profane, First Fruits are infrequent.

“Growths from dedicated [seeds] and Second Tithe are profane; one redeems them corresponding to the time he sowed.” Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: He redeems the entire storage for the value of that seah. The difference between dedicated [produce] and Second Tithe: Second Tithe, whether produce whose seeds disappear or whose seeds do not disappear, is redeemed by the wholesale price; only that produce whose seeds disappear is redeemed by current prices, produce whose seeds do not disappear is redeemed following the early price. Dedicated [produce], whether produce whose seeds disappear or whose seeds do not disappear, is treated in its place and time; only that one redeems the entire storage of produce whose seeds disappear for the value of that seah, but for produce whose seeds do not disappear he has to redeem the [contents of] the entire storage.

Rebbi Yose said: This implies that if there were 100 seah, each one lifted from 100 seah, and one profane was switched with one of them, all would be permitted.

There, Rebbi Joḥanan said if a seah of heave was lifted from 100 of profane produce, anything will cause it to become insignificant. And here, if he collected and some profane produce fell into it, should it not be permitted? As Rebbi Joḥanan said there, he mills and it is permitted, so also here. There, both kinds came into his hands. But here, only ṭevel came into his hands if he collected from one [lagena]. But if he collected from two, both kinds came into his hands.

How far? Rebbi Jacob bar Idi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It is forbidden for three harvests; it is forbidden up to the fourth harvest, but the fourth is permitted. Rebbi Samuel ben Eudaimon asked before Rebbi Mana: How far for heave? He said to him, they made the fourth harvest like the first harvest. Just as the first harvest of growth whose seeds disappear is forbidden for heave and permitted for ṭevel, so the fourth harvest of growth whose seeds do not disappear is forbidden for heave and permitted for ṭevel.

What do you have? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, e. g., bulb plants.

Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina: Garlic up to the size of a barley corn is a plant whose seeds disappear. Larger than that, it is a plant whose seeds do not disappear. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina: Garlic is like barley in every respect.
