תְּרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר שָׁוָה לַבִּכּוּרִים בִּשְׁתֵּי דְרָכִים, וְלַתְּרוּמָה בִּשְׁתֵּי דְרָכִים. נִטֶּלֶת מִן הַטָּהוֹר עַל הַטָּמֵא, וְשֶׁלֹּא מִן הַמֻּקָּף, כַּבִּכּוּרִים. וְאוֹסֶרֶת אֶת הַגֹּרֶן, וְיֶשׁ לָהּ שִׁעוּר, כַּתְּרוּמָה:
Terumat Ma'aser [un decimo della decima data a un levita che a sua volta deve essere dato a un Kohen e che diventa santo dopo la separazione e che può essere consumato solo da Kohanim o dalla loro famiglia] è simile a Bikkurim in due modi, e a Terumah in due modi. Può essere preso da prodotti puri per [consentire] prodotti impuri [da mangiare], e [può essere preso] da prodotti che non sono vicini [al prodotto che sta rendendo ammissibile], come Bikkurim . E rende proibito ciò che è nell'aia [prima che sia separato], e ha una quantità richiesta, come Terumah .
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment - that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Beitzah 13a) that a [Levite] who took sheaves as tithes, does not give sheaves to the priest from it, but he is fined to pound and winnow [it] and to give him a tithe of the tithe that is a tithe of grain, and he is not obligated to give a tithe of the straw [byproduct], after he pounded everything and winnowed [it], but if he first tithed the sheaths, and [then] pounded and winnowed [it], he must give [the priest] his portion in everything; that which they said (Mishnah Terumot 11:8) that only priestly tithes from the tithe with [at least] 1/64 of a log must he take to the priest, and so long as the priestly tithe is certain (not in doubt) and pure, [but] if it is less than this, he need not busy himself with taking it to the priest, but he rather throws it into the fire and burns it; that which they said (Mishnah Bikkurim 2:5) that the priestly tithe from the tithe can be separated from that which is not [close], as it is stated (Numbers 18:28-29), "From all the tithes [...] you shall gift," meaning to say even if you have a tithe in one country and [another] in another country, you may take one gift for all [of them], but nonetheless they, may their memory be blessed, said (Gittin 30a) that Torah scholars should only take it from [what is close]; and the rest of its details - are elucidated in Tractate Terumot, Ma'asrot, and in parts of Demai (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Heave Offerings 1).
