There are three [crops of] olives and each gives three kinds of oil. The first crop of olives he picks the olives from the top of the tree; and he pounds them and puts them into the basket; Rabbi Judah says: around the [sides of the] basket. This is the first. He then presses them with the beam; Rabbi Judah says: with stones. This is the second. He goes back and grinds them and presses them again. This is the third . The first [oil] is fit for the <i>menorah</i> [Temple candelabrum] and the others for grain offerings. The second olive crop is when he picks them at roof-level and he pounds them and puts them into the basket; Rabbi Judah says: around the [sides of the] basket. This is the first. He then presses them with the beam; Rabbi Judah says: with stones. This is the second. He goes back and grinds them and presses them again. This is the third . The first [oil] is fit for the <i>menorah</i> and the others for grain offerings. The third olive crop is when he packs the last olives of the tree inside the storehouse [of the oil pressing facility] until they become overripe; he takes them up and dries them on the roof and he pounds them and puts them into the basket; Rabbi Judah says: around the basket. This is the first. He then presses them with the beam; Rabbi Judah says: with stones. This is the second. He goes back and grinds them and presses them again. This is the third . The first [oil] is fit for the <i>menorah</i> and the others for grain offerings.
