קַב חָדָשׁ וְקַב יָשָׁן שֶׁנָּשְׁכוּ זֶה בָזֶה, רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר, יִטֹּל מִן הָאֶמְצַע, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִים, הַנּוֹטֵל חַלָּה מִן הַקַּב, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, חַלָּה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵינָהּ חַלָּה:

A <i>Kav</i> of [dough made from] new grain and a <i>Kav</i> of [dough from] old grain which are stuck together: Rabbi Yishmael says, let him take [<i>Challah</i>] from the middle. But the Sages prohibit. One who has taken <i>Challah</i> from [dough made out of] one <i>Kav</i>: Rabbi Akiva says, it is [indeed] <i>Challah</i>; but the Sages say, it is not <i>Challah</i>.
