כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, הַמַּקְדִּישׁ פֵּרוֹתָיו עַד שֶׁלֹּא בָאוּ לְעוֹנַת הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת, וּפְדָאָן, חַיָּבִין. מִשֶּׁבָּאוּ לְעוֹנַת הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת, וּפְדָאָן, חַיָּבִין. הִקְדִּישָׁן עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִגְמְרוּ וּגְמָרָן הַגִּזְבָּר, וְאַחַר כָּךְ פְּדָאָן, פְּטוּרִים, שֶׁבִּשְׁעַת חוֹבָתָן הָיוּ פְטוּרִים:
Wenn man seine Früchte vor Onat Ma'asrot [dem Punkt in der Entwicklung einer Frucht, an dem sie dem Zehnten unterliegt] widmet und sie einlöst, sind sie ebenfalls verpflichtet. Wenn [er sie widmet] nach Onat Ma'asrot und er sie einlöst, sind sie verpflichtet. Wenn er sie geweiht hat, bevor sie reif waren und sie vom Schatzmeister gereift sind, und er sie danach eingelöst hat, sind sie befreit, denn zu dem Zeitpunkt, zu dem sie verpflichtet worden wären, waren sie befreit.
Tosefta Demai
[In the case of] one who gives his field for [for purposes of] being sharecropped by a Samaritan or a Gentile (following Erfurt, but see GR"A, striking "or a Gentile"), or to someone who is not trustworthy as to tithes, even though he is not permitted to do so, even though [the produce is still premature and] not yet subject to tithes (see Peah 4:8), he needs to tithe it himself when it [ripens and] becomes subject to tithes. [In the case of] one who gives his field for [purposes of] being sharecropped by an am ha'aretz, until the time that [the produce] becomes subject to tithes, he needs to (but see GR"A, "he does not need to") tithe it himself, [and] when it does become subject to tithes, there is no need for him to (but see GR"A, "he needs to") tithe it himself. How [does he do this]? He stands on the threshing floor, and takes [the tithes]. And we are not concerned that someone may have eaten [some of the produce before it reached the threshing floor], as we are not responsible for deceivers.
