אוֹכְלִין עֲרַאי מִן הָעִסָּה, עַד שֶׁתִּתְגַּלְגֵּל בַּחִטִּים וְתִטַּמְטֵם בַּשְּׂעוֹרִים. גִּלְגְּלָהּ בַּחִטִּים וְטִמְטְמָהּ בַּשְּׂעוֹרִים, הָאוֹכֵל מִמֶּנָּה חַיָּב מִיתָה. כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִיא נוֹתֶנֶת אֶת הַמַּיִם, מַגְבַּהַת חַלָּתָהּ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא שָׁם חֲמִשָּׁה רִבְעֵי קֶמַח:

One may eat incidentally from the dough before it is rolled, in the case of wheat flour, or before it was mixed into a cohesive unit, in the case of barley flour. Once one has rolled wheat flour, or mixed barley flour into a cohesive dough, one who eats from it is liable for death [for eating Priestly food]. As soon as she puts in water, she should separate the <i>Challah</i>, provided that there is not [the minimum quantity of] five quarters of a <i>Kav</i> [specific unit of volume] of flour there.

נִדְמְעָה עִסָּתָהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, פְּטוּרָה, שֶׁהַמְּדֻמָּע פָּטוּר. וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגְּלָה, חַיֶּבֶת. נוֹלַד לָהּ סְפֵק טֻמְאָה עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, תֵּעָשֶׂה בְטֻמְאָה, וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגְּלָה, תֵּעָשֶׂה בְטָהֳרָה:

If her dough became <i>Meduma</i> [mixture of <i>Chulin</i> (permitted foodstuff) and <i>Terumah</i> (a portion of a crop given to a Kohen) that is forbidden to non-<i>Kohanim</i>], before she rolls it, it is exempt from <i>Challah</i>, as <i>Meduma</i> is exempt; after she rolled it, it is obligated. If there was a doubt [concerning purity] before she mixed, it may be completed while she is in a state of impurity; after she rolled it, however, it must be completed in a state of purity.

הִקְדִּישָׁה עִסָּתָהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, וּפְדָאַתָּהּ, חַיֶּבֶת. מִשֶּׁגִּלְגְּלָה, וּפְדָאַתָּה, חַיֶּבֶת. הִקְדִּישַׁתָּהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, וְגִלְגְּלָהּ הַגִּזְבָּר, וְאַחַר כָּךְ פְּדָאַתָּהּ, פְּטוּרָה, שֶׁבִּשְׁעַת חוֹבָתָהּ הָיְתָה פְטוּרָה:

If she consecrated [to the Temple] her dough before rolling it, and then redeemed it [value onto a consecrated coin], it is obligated [in <i>Challah</i>]. If she consecrated after rolling it, and redeemed it, it is also obligated. But if she consecrated it before rolling it, and the [Temple] treasurer finished the rolling, and then she redeemed it, [the dough is] exempt, as at the time the obligation took effect, it was exempt.

כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, הַמַּקְדִּישׁ פֵּרוֹתָיו עַד שֶׁלֹּא בָאוּ לְעוֹנַת הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת, וּפְדָאָן, חַיָּבִין. וּמִשֶּׁבָּאוּ לְעוֹנַת הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת, וּפְדָאָן, חַיָּבִין. הִקְדִּישָׁן עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִגְמְרוּ, וּגְמָרָן הַגִּזְבָּר, וְאַחַר כָּךְ פְּדָאָן, פְּטוּרִין, שֶׁבִּשְׁעַת חוֹבָתָן הָיוּ פְטוּרִין:

Similarly, if one consecrated their produce before the point of obligation <i>Ma'aserot</i> [tithes] took effect, and redeems it, it is obligated in <i>Ma'aserot</i>; and if one redeemed after it had reached the point of obligation for <i>Ma'aserot</i>, it is obligated in <i>Ma'aserot</i>. But if one consecrated it before [the point of obligation in <i>Ma'aserot</i>], and the [Temple] treasurer completed it, and then the owner redeemed it, it is exempt, as at the time the obligation took effect, it was exempt.

נָכְרִי שֶׁנָּתַן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ עִסָּה, פְּטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה. נְתָנָהּ לוֹ מַתָּנָה, עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגֵּל, חַיָּב, וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגֵּל, פָּטוּר. הָעוֹשֶׂה עִסָּה עִם הַנָּכְרִי, אִם אֵין בְּשֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּשִׁעוּר חַלָּה, פְּטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה:

If a non-Jew gave [flour] to a Jew to make dough for him, it is exempt from <i>Challah</i>; If he gave it to him as a gift: if before rolling the dough, it is obligated; but if after rolling it, it is exempt. If one makes dough together with a gentile, and if the Jew's share is not [at minimum] the minimum for <i>Challah</i>, the dough is exempt from [taking] <i>Challah</i>.

גֵּר שֶׁנִּתְגַּיֵּר וְהָיְתָה לוֹ עִסָּה, נַעֲשֵׂית עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִתְגַּיֵּר, פָּטוּר, וּמִשֶּׁנִּתְגַיֵּר, חַיָּב. וְאִם סָפֵק, חַיָּב, וְאֵין חַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ חֹמֶשׁ. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, הַכֹּל הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר הַקְּרִימָה בַתַּנּוּר:

A convert who converted to Judaism and had dough: if the dough was made before he converted, it is exempt; after he converted, it is obligated. If he is in doubt [whether he mixed the dough before or after his conversion], it is obligated and [a non-<i>Kohen</i> who accidentally ate this <i>Challah</i>] is not obligated for paying the extra fifth [to the <i>Kohen</i>]. Rabbi Akiva says, it all depends on [the time of] the formation of a light crust in the oven.

הָעוֹשֶׂה עִסָּה מִן הַחִטִּים וּמִן הָאֹרֶז, אִם יֶשׁ בָּהּ טַעַם דָּגָן, חַיֶּבֶת בַּחַלָּה, וְיוֹצֵא בָהּ אָדָם יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח. וְאִם אֵין בָּהּ טַעַם דָּגָן, אֵינָהּ חַיֶּבֶת בַּחַלָּה, וְאֵין אָדָם יוֹצֵא בָהּ יְדֵי חוֹבָתוֹ בְּפֶסַח:

If one makes dough from a mixture of wheat and rice, and the dough has the taste of the grain, it is obligated in <i>Challah</i>, and a person may use it to fulfill one's obligation [of <i>Matsah</i> [unleavened bread] on Passover. But if it does not have the taste of the grain, it is not obligated in <i>Challah</i>, nor may a person use it to fulfill one's obligation on Passover.

הַנּוֹטֵל שְׂאֹר מֵעִסָּה שֶׁלֹּא הוּרְמָה חַלָּתָהּ וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ עִסָּה שֶׁהוּרְמָה חַלָּתָהּ, אִם יֶשׁ לוֹ פַרְנָסָה מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, מוֹצִיא לְפִי חֶשְׁבּוֹן. וְאִם לָאו, מוֹצִיא חַלָּה אַחַת עַל הַכֹּל:

One who takes leaven out of dough from which <i>Challah</i> had not been removed and puts it into dough from which <i>Challah</i> had been removed: if one has a supply [of dough] from another place, one can take out [<i>Challah</i>] in accordance with the precise amount; but if one does not, one takes out one [portion of] <i>Challah</i> for the whole [dough].

כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, זֵיתֵי מָסִיק שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ עִם זֵיתֵי נִקּוּף, עִנְּבֵי בָצִיר עִם עִנְּבֵי עוֹלְלוֹת, אִם יֶשׁ לוֹ פַרְנָסָה מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, מוֹצִיא לְפִי חֶשְׁבּוֹן. וְאִם לָאו, מוֹצִיא תְרוּמָה וּתְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר לַכֹּל, וְהַשְּׁאָר מַעֲשֵׂר וּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי לְפִי חֶשְׁבּוֹן:

Similarly, if olives of [regular] harvesting that became mixed with olives [left over] for striking-off [by the poor, that are exempt from <i>Ma'aserot</i>], or grapes of [regular] gathering, with grapes [left over] for gleaning [by the poor]: if one has a supply from another place, one can take out [the necessary tithes] in accordance with the precise amounts. But if one does not [have a supply from another place], one takes out <i>Terumah</i> and <i>Terumat Ma'aser</i> [a tenth of the tithe given to a Levi which must, in turn, be given to a Kohen] for all of them. And as for the rest, [one takes out] <i>Ma'aser</i> [<i>Rishon</i>, the first tithe of produce, which must be given to the Levi] and <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> [the second tithe of produce, which must be taken to Jerusalem and consumed there] in accordance with the precise amount.

הַנּוֹטֵל שְׂאֹר מֵעִסַּת חִטִּים וְנוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ עִסַּת אֹרֶז, אִם יֶשׁ בָּהּ טַעַם דָּגָן חַיֶּבֶת בַּחַלָּה. וְאִם לָאו, פְּטוּרָה. אִם כֵּן, לָמָּה אָמְרוּ הַטֶּבֶל אוֹסֵר כָּל שֶׁהוּא, מִין בְּמִינוֹ. וְשֶׁלֹּא בְמִינוֹ, בְּנוֹתֵן טָעַם:

One who takes leaven from dough of wheat [flour] and puts it into dough of rice [flour]: if it has the taste of grain, it is obligated in <i>Challah</i>; if not, it is exempt. If so, why did they say: “Untithed produce of any amount renders food prohibited”? That is [with regard to a mixture of] a kind with its own kind, but [with regard to a mixture of a kind] not with its own kind, [rather] only when it imparts taste.
