יִשְׂרָאֵל יוֹצְאִין יְדֵי חוֹבָתָן בִּנְדָרִים וּנְדָבוֹת וּבְמַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה, וְהַכֹּהֲנִים בַּחַטָּאוֹת וּבָאֲשָׁמוֹת וּבַבְּכוֹר וּבֶחָזֶה וָשׁוֹק, אֲבָל לֹא בָעוֹפוֹת וְלֹא בַמְּנָחוֹת:

Israelites (i.e., non-Cohanim) fulfill their obligation [of peace-offerings of joy] with vows, and gifts, and the beast-tithe, [it being written (Deuteronomy 16:14): "And you shall rejoice in your festival" — to include all varieties of joy (i.e., of meat), the verse requiring only joy. And the master said: "There is joy only in meat," and these are meat.] And the Cohanim (fulfill their obligation) with sin-offerings, guilt-offerings, the bechor (the firstling), the breast and the shoulder; but not with birds and meal-offerings, [it being written: "And you shall rejoice in your festival (chagecha)," Scripture hereby stating: Rejoice in that from which the festival offering (chagigah) is brought — to exclude birds and the meal-offering, the chagigah not being brought therefrom.]
