1Two women who made two [batches of dough, totaling two] Kabim [sing., Kav, a specific unit of measure], and these touched one another, even if they are of the same species, they are exempt [from Challah, (a portion of a batch of bread dough given to a Kohen, priest (pl., Kohanim which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household)]. When they belong to one woman: if [the batches are] one species with the same species, they are subject; of different species, they are exempt.

2What qualifies as a species with its same species? Wheat does not join together with any [species] other than with spelt; barley joins together with all [species] except wheat. Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri says, the rest of the species join together one with another.

[If there was] dough from which Challah had already been removed from between them, they join together, since it had once been subject to Challah.

Rabban Gamliel says, [one must give] two [portions of] Challah in Syria; but Rabbi Eliezer says, [only] one [portion of] Challah. They had adopted the lenient ruling of Rabban Gamliel and the lenient ruling of Rabbi Eliezer. They went back and acted in accordance with Rabban Gamliel in both respects.

8Rabban Gamliel says, There are three regions with regard to [the laws of] Challah: From the land of Israel to Keziv, one [portion of] Challah; from Keziv to the river and to Amanah, two [portions of Challah - one to the fire and one to the priest, with [the one] to the fire having a minimum measure, and [the one] to the priest lacking a minimum measure; from the river and from Amanah and inward, two [portions of] Challah, one for the fire and one for the priest, with [the one] for the fire lacking a minimum measure, and [the one] for the priest having a minimum measure. And [a impure priest] who has immersed himself, but it is still day, may eat it. Rabbi Yosei says, he does not require immersion. But it is forbidden to Zavim [sing., Zav, males who have certain atypical genital discharges, which render them impure] and Zavot [sing., Zavah, females who have certain types of atypical genital discharges, distinct from their menses, which render them impure], to the Niddah [a female who has menstrual discharges which render her impure], and to women after childbirth. Though it may be eaten with a non-Kohen at the [same] table and it may be given to any Kohen.

Rabbi Judah prohibits first fruits. Vetches of Terumah: Rabbi Akiva permits, but the Sages prohibit.

Ariston brought his first fruits from Apamea and they accepted from him, because they said, one who buys [a field] in Syria is as one who buys [a field] in the outskirts of Jerusalem.
