1) The document discusses the laws and interpretations around terumah, the agricultural gift given to Kohanim. 2) It explores cases where someone separates terumah from another's field without permission and whether the terumah would be considered valid. 3) It examines whether finding nicer crops in the field after the fact would indicate the terumah separation was done seriously or for other reasons like embarrassment.

1. his life is shortened. He will die early.
A deaf mute (can not hear and speak)
Mentally challenged
A minor (under 13 years old)
A Non Jew
One who separates from crops that are
not his own.

2. One kernel of wheat is enough
for the entire crop.
One should separate more
gives 1/40th of his crop
give 1/50th of his crop
gives 1/60th of his crop

4. Friend’s
FieldThe
that was
separated.

6. Come and hear. I’ll bring you a proof
How is it
that they say
“One who separates (somebody else’s) ,
But the owner doesn’t know that he separated it
His is considered a good .
Behold one who went down
into the field of his friend
and he separated
and gathered
without permission.
If he (the owner) is worried about stealing
It is not considered .
And if not,
It is considered .

7. Why
didn’t you
take from
the nicer
crops?
I’ll
check to
see if
he is
serious.
If there were nicer crops
then it is a good !!
If there were NO nicer
crops,
then it is not considered
a good !!

8. And how
does he know
if he is worried
about (it being considered) stolen
or if not?
Behold
The owner of the house came
and found him (separating the Terumah)
And he said to him
“Go take the nicer ones.”
If they are found there
nicer ones than them
The Terumah is considered to be a good Terumah
And if not (there are no nicer ones)
It is not considered to be a good Terumah

9. I’ll help
you gather
the .
Thanks
for your
help!!
It is a good
…
no matter what!
If the owners gathered
and added to them (the piles of Terumah)
Either way
The Terumah is considered a good Terumah.

11. If there are nicer ones, it is a
good even though the
owner didn’t know about them
when they were separated.
Reason: Had the owner known
he would have been happy that
they were separated.
Proof: to who says had he
known he would have been
.

12. We said, “And if
they are found
nicer ones
from them,
It is a good Terumah.”
According to
, this
needs an
explanation!!
Why
At the time
that Terumah was separated
but
He didn’t know (that Terumah was separated)??

13. No
If there were nicer ones. It shows that he was serious.

14. To find the Truth
of the Torah!!

15. He appointed this
man to be his -
agent to separate
.

16. explains
according to
that he made him
an agent

17. Here also,
It makes sense,
That if
it (a thought) left your mind, (you would have thought to say)
that he did not make him
an agent
Would (his Terumah) it be
considered a good Terumah

18. And but (the doesn’t just say) -you
“” – also you…
the Torah says .
It is coming to include
Your agent
Just like you,
When you give) it is with your knowledge
Also your agent
(needs to be) with your knowledge
The extra word tells us that you may appoint a
to separate your Terumah.

19. Please be
my agent
to gather
.
Sure! I
am glad
to help!
I assume he
will gather
from my
Grade B
crops.
He didn’t say
which crops to
gather.
Probably, he
wanted me to
take his Grade
A crops for
this special
mitzvah.
The owner returns and
finds his took from
the Grade A crops…
Go take
from the
nicer
crops.
Was he
serious or
sarcastic?
If there were nicer crops
then it is a good !!
If there were NO nicer
crops
then it is not a good
!!

20. but
here
with what
are we dealing?
for example
that he made him a
And said to him
“Go separate Terumah.”
And he did not say to him
“Separate
from these (these crops in particular)”
and the normal way
of an owner
when he separates Terumah
from the average (Grade B)
(is that) he separates.

21. And went
this person
And this
person went
and separated from the nicer crops
And he came
the owner of the field
and found him (separating the nicer crops)
And he said to him,
“Go (to gather)
by the nicer ones.”
If there are found (in his field)
nicer ones than these (that he already separated)
His Terumah is a good Terumah
And if not
His Terumah is not a good Terumah

22. The Sharecropper came
and offered them some food

23. Came
To the orchard
Of Mari bar Isak
He (the sharecropper) brought out
the sharecropper

24. dates
and pomegranates
and placed it (the fruits)
in front of them.
they ate
did not eat

25. Why
didn’t you
give the
Rabbi’s
from
these
nicer
ones?
Uh Oh! Here
comes the
Boss,
!!
I wonder
what he
wants this
time?

26. meanwhile
came
And found them
And he said to him
“Why
didn’t you bring to them
to the Rabbi’s
from these
finer/better (fruits)?”
To his sharecropper

27. “Why didn’t
you eat? He
said, “Go
Take the
nicer ones!!
You see he
was serious.”

28. They said to him
Now
why
did Mar (Zutra) not eat?
Didn’t we learn in a
If there are found
Nicer ones than them
The Terumah is a good Terumah

30. It’s a Mitzvah
He’s happy
about it
He is serious
It’s not a
Mitzvah
He’s not happy
about it
He only said it because
he is embarrassed

31. He (Mar Zutra) said to them
This (is what)
said
They don’t say
go take the nicer ones
but
for the topic
only
of Terumah
because
that it is a Mitzvah
And he is happy about it
but
here

32. (It was ) because of
embarrassment
that he said this.
