Talmud sur Ma'aser Sheni 1:1
מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי, אֵין מוֹכְרִין אוֹתוֹ, וְאֵין מְמַשְׁכְּנִין אוֹתוֹ, וְאֵין מַחֲלִיפִין אוֹתוֹ, וְלֹא שׁוֹקְלִין כְּנֶּגְדּוֹ. וְלֹא יֹאמַר אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם, הֵילָךְ יַיִן וְתֶן לִי שָׁמֶן. וְכֵן שְׁאָר כָּל הַפֵּרוֹת. אֲבָל נוֹתְנִין זֶה לָזֶה מַתְּנַת חִנָּם:
Ma'aser Sheni [deuxième dîme, qui doit être mangée à Jérusalem]: ne peut pas être vendu, et ne peut pas être mis en gage, et ne peut pas être échangé, et ne peut être mis en balance. Un homme ne doit pas dire à son ami de Jérusalem: "Voici du vin, et donnez-moi de l'huile". Cela vaut également pour tous les autres fruits. Mais on peut le donner à un autre en cadeau.
Jerusalem Talmud Maaser Sheni
MISHNAH: One does not sell Second Tithe1One may not sell Second Tithe as such, that it should be Second Tithe in the hand of the buyer. One may exchange Second Tithe for money (Deut. 14:25), transfer its holiness to the money, and render the produce profane which then may be sold; cf. Mishnah 4:1. The money has to be spent for pure food in Jerusalem to be consumed by the rules of holiness., one does not take it as a pledge, one does not barter it, and one does not weigh corresponding to it2As long as it retains its status as Second Tithe.. One should not say to his neighbor in Jerusalem, here you have wine, give me its value in oil, but they may give free gifts to one another.

One43Not the rancher whose animal produced a firstling but the Cohen who receives it. The firstling becomes the property of the Cohen. Since his bride becomes a member of the tribe upon consummation of the marriage, she then will have full use of the firstling for food even if it is unblemished. may sell a firstling unblemished alive, blemished alive or slaughtered44A slaughtered blemished firstling may be sold by the Cohen as food even to a Gentile (Bekhorot 28a)., and one may use it for preliminarily marrying a woman. One does not exchange Second Tithe by a blank45Greek ἄσημος, -ον “without mark; uncoined”, a blank for coining. Cf. D. Sperber, Roman Palestine 200–400, Money and Prices (Ramat Gan, 1974), Note 12 on p. 208., or by a coin not in circulation46Any coin which is not legal tender at the place of redemption is merchandise, not money., or on money not in his possession47Second Tithe cannot be exchanged pledging future income, or outstanding loans, or by one’s own but inacessible money..
