То, что покупается за деньги Маасера Шени, которые стали нечистыми, должно быть выкуплено. Раввин Иегуда говорит, что он должен быть похоронен. Они [раввины] сказали раввину Иегуде: «Но если сам маасер шени становится нечистым, его нужно искупить, тогда то, что куплено на деньги маазера шени, которые стали нечистыми, разве не закон должен быть искупленным? Он сказал им: «Нет. Если вы скажете [это] в отношении самого Маасер Шени , который может быть искуплен, когда чист в отдаленном месте, вы скажете [это] в отношении того, что куплено у Ма» Aser Sheni деньги, которые не могут быть погашены в чистом виде в отдаленном месте?

Bartenura on Mishnah Maaser Sheni
שכן נפדה טהור ברחוק מקום – for Second Tithe that is pure, we redeem it outside of Jerusalem, as it is written (Deuteronomy 14:24): “….because the place [which the LORD your God has chosen to establish His name] is far from you….” But that which is purchased with [Second] Tithe money is not redeemed outside of Jerusalem when it is pure, as it is taught in the Mishnah of the first chapter (Mishnah 6), “but if wittingly, it must be brought to the place (i.e., Jerusalem) and eaten there. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

English Explanation of Mishnah Maaser Sheni
They said to Rabbi Judah: if maaser sheni itself when it became unclean may be redeemed, should not also that which is bought with maaser sheni money be redeemed when it became unclean? The sages now begin to argue their case with Rabbi Judah. In yesterday’s mishnah we learned that maaser sheni itself which became impure can be redeemed. Why, then, shouldn’t maaser sheni produce that was bought with maaser sheni money be redeemed if it becomes impure?

English Explanation of Mishnah Maaser Sheni
He said to them: No! If you say this of maaser sheni itself, it is because it may be redeemed also when pure at a distance from the [holy] place. But how can you say this of that which is bought with maaser sheni money, seeing that it cannot be redeemed when clean at a distance from the [holy] place. Rabbi Judah responds that the two are not truly analogous. Maaser sheni produce itself can be redeemed outside of Jerusalem, even when it is pure. In contrast, produce bought with maaser sheni money cannot be redeemed outside of Jerusalem when it is pure. Such produce must be brought to Jerusalem and it can be eaten there. Since the rule is stricter concerning produce bought with maaser sheni money outside of Jerusalem, it is also stricter with produce bought with maaser sheni money inside Jerusalem. It cannot be redeemed, but rather must be buried.
