Talmud sobre Sheviit 2:8

HALAKHAH: ⁷⁴Here starts the discussion of the second part of the Mishnah, about the tithing of coriander. The two paragraphs refer to Ševiїt2:8. The second paragraph is practically identical (except for the order of subjects) with a paragraph there; Notes 80–81.Ḥizqiah said, if he collected two or three modii⁷⁵This is the reading here in both mss. and the Venice print. A Roman modius is a dry measure, corresponding to the seah. Because of the parallel with Ševiït, the commentators change מודייות into מורביות morbiot, a word that seems to indicate watering periods, cf. Ševiït 2:8, Note 83. This must be the intended meaning in the next sentence: If the farmer stops watering in order to hasten the ripening of the seeds, he cannot be interested in the vegetable. Also, one cannot withhold bushels from vegetables. But it does not make much sense to change the reading in the first sentence which speaks of harvesting vegetables. In the second sentence, the expression “two or three” must have slipped in as parallel to the first sentence since the discussion in Ševiїt 2:8 shows clearly that only the withholding of three waterings determines the crop as seeds. from it, it comes under the category of vegetable. Also for seeds it is so: If he withheld from it two or three morbiot⁷⁵This is the reading here in both mss. and the Venice print. A Roman modius is a dry measure, corresponding to the seah.

If one sowed it for seeds it is tithed for the past; if he sowed it as vegetable it is tithed for the future. If he sowed it for both seeds and vegetable, or if he sowed for seeds and then wanted it as vegetable, one may tithe from its seed on vegetable and from vegetable on seeds, on condition that it was collected before the New Year; but if some of it was collected after the New Year, its seed is tithed for the past and its vegetable is tithed at the moment of its being harvested if it was one-third ripe before the New Year. But if it was only ripe one-third after the New Year, both seed and vegetable are tithed for the future.
