Reference for Maaser Sheni 4:3
בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אוֹמֵר בְּסֶלַע וְאַחֵר אוֹמֵר בְּסֶלַע, בַּעַל הַבַּיִת קוֹדֵם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מוֹסִיף חֹמֶשׁ. בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אוֹמֵר בְּסֶלַע וְאַחֵר אוֹמֵר בְּסֶלַע וְאִסָּר, אֶת שֶׁל סֶלַע וְאִסָּר קוֹדֵם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מוֹסִיף עַל הַקֶּרֶן. הַפּוֹדֶה מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי שֶׁלּוֹ, מוֹסִיף עָלָיו חֲמִשִּׁית, בֵּין שֶׁהוּא שֶׁלּוֹ וּבֵין שֶׁנִּתַּן לוֹ בְּמַתָּנָה:
If the owner says, "[I will redeem the <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i>] with a <i>Selah</i> [specific unit of money]," and another person [also] says, "With a <i>Selah</i>," the owner receives precedence, since he will add one fifth. If the owner says, "With a <i>Selah</i>," and another person says, "With a <i>Selah</i> and an <i>Issar</i> [specific unit of money]," the one who offers the <i>Selah</i> and <i>Issar</i> receives precedence, since he is adding to the principal amount. Someone who redeems his own <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> adds one fifth, whether it is his own or has been given to him as a gift.
