וְחַיָּב עַל הַיַּיִן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, וְעַל הָעֲנָבִים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן, וְעַל הַחַרְצַנִּים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן, וְעַל הַזַּגִּים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה אוֹמֵר, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב עַד שֶׁיֹּאכַל שְׁנֵי חַרְצַנִּים וְזַגָּן. אֵלּוּ הֵן חַרְצַנִּים וְאֵלּוּ הֵן זַגִּים, הַחַרְצַנִּים אֵלּוּ הַחִיצוֹנִים, הַזַּגִּים אֵלּוּ הַפְּנִימִים, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, שֶׁלֹּא תִטְעֶה, כְּזוֹג שֶׁל בְּהֵמָה, הַחִיצוֹן זוֹג וְהַפְּנִימִי עִנְבָּל:

And he is liable for the wine in itself, for the grapes in themselves, for the chartzanim in themselves, and for the zagim in themselves. R. Elazar says: He is not liable until he eats two chartzanim (kernels) and their zag (husk), [it being written (Numbers 6:4): "from chartzanim until zag," the minimum of "chartzanim" being two, for which there is one zag. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Elazar b. Azaryah. But if one eats from chartzan and zag, he does not receive stripes until he eats an olive-size. Which are "charzanim" and which are "zagim"? The chartzanim are the outer (the husk); the zagim, the inner (the kernels). These are the words of R. Yehudah. R. Yossi says: Make no mistake. [R. Yossi gave a sign to prevent a mistake.] It is as the zug (bell) of a beast. The outer part is called "zug"; the inner part, "inbal" (the clapper).
