אֵלּוּ דְבָרִים שֶׁאָדָם יוֹצֵא בָהֶן יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח, בְּחִטִּים, בִּשְׂעוֹרִים, בְּכֻסְּמִין וּבְשִׁיפוֹן וּבְשִׁבֹּלֶת שׁוּעָל. וְיוֹצְאִין בִּדְמַאי וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁנִּטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ, וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁנִּפְדּוּ, וְהַכֹּהֲנִים בְּחַלָּה וּבִתְרוּמָה. אֲבָל לֹא בְטֶבֶל, וְלֹא בְמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁלֹּא נִטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ, וְלֹא בְמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁלֹּא נִפְדּוּ. חַלּוֹת תּוֹדָה וּרְקִיקֵי נָזִיר, עֲשָׂאָן לְעַצְמוֹ, אֵין יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶן. עֲשָׂאָן לִמְכֹּר בַּשּׁוּק, יוֹצְאִין בָּהֶן:

These are the things with which one fulfills his obligation [to eat matzoth] on [the first night of] Pesach, [when he is obligated to eat matzoth, viz. (Exodus 12:18): "In the evening shall you eat matzoth"]: with wheat, with barley, with spelt, with oats, and with fox-tail oats, [but not with rice, millet, and other species, it being written (Deuteronomy 16:3): "You shall not eat chametz upon it; seven days shall you eat matzoth upon it." One fulfills his matzah obligation only with things susceptible of becoming chametz — to exclude rice, millet, and other species, which do not become chametz, but only putrefy.] And one fulfills his obligation with demai, and with ma'aser rishon whose terumah was taken, and with ma'aser sheni and hekdesh that were redeemed [The need for enumerating all of these is explained in the eighteenth chapter of Shabbath], and Cohanim (fulfill their obligation) with challah and with terumah. [(If this were not stated) I might have thought that matzah which is fit for all men is required, but challah and terumah are not fit for non-priests. We are, therefore, apprised otherwise.] The challoth of the todah (the thanksgiving offering) and the wafers of the Nazirite's offering — If one made them for himself, [even though they are bona fide matzah], he does not fulfill his obligation with them, [it being written (Exodus 12:17): "And you shall watch the matzoth" — matzah which is watched for the sake of matzah; to exclude these, which are not watched for the sake of matzah, but for the sake of the offering.]; if he made them to sell them in the marketplace, he fulfills his obligation with them. [For with whatever is to be sold in the marketplace, he says to himself: "If I sell them, fine; if not, I will eat them as matzah of mitzvah."]
