שְׁתֵּי רְחֵלוֹת שֶׁלֹּא בִכְּרוּ, וְיָלְדוּ שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים, נוֹתֵן שְׁנֵיהֶם לַכֹּהֵן. זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, הַזָּכָר לַכֹּהֵן. שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים וּנְקֵבָה, אֶחָד לוֹ וְאֶחָד לַכֹּהֵן. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן אוֹמֵר, הַכֹּהֵן בּוֹרֵר לוֹ אֶת הַיָּפֶה. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, מְשַׁמְּנִים בֵּינֵיהֶן, וְהַשֵּׁנִי יִרְעֶה עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֵב. וְחַיָּב בַּמַּתָּנוֹת. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי פּוֹטֵר. מֵת אֶחָד מֵהֶן, רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן אוֹמֵר, יַחֲלוֹקוּ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, הַמּוֹצִיא מֵחֲבֵרוֹ עָלָיו הָרְאָיָה. שְׁתֵּי נְקֵבוֹת וְזָכָר, אוֹ שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים וּשְׁתֵּי נְקֵבוֹת, אֵין כָּאן לַכֹּהֵן כְּלוּם:

If two ewes which have never given birth before bear two males, both go to the priest. [If they give birth to] a male and a female, the male goes to the priest. [If they give birth to] two males and a female, one goes to [the owner], and the other goes to the priest. Rabbi Tarfon says: The priest chooses the better one. Rabbi 'Akiva says: We compromise. The second one goes out to graze until it becomes it develops a blemish, and it is obligated regarding the [priestly] gifts. Rabbi Yossi exempts it. If one of them dies, Rabbi Tarfon says: They divide [the value of the remaining one]. Rabbi 'Akiva says: One who comes to extract from one's friend has the burden of proof. [If they give birth to] two females and a male or two males and two females, the priest receives nothing.
