משנה: מִי שֶׁהָיוּ לוֹ חֲבִילֵי תִלְתָּן שֶׁלְכִּלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם יִדָּלֵקוּ. נִתְעָֽרְבוּ בַאֲחֵרִים כּוּלָּם יִדָּלֵקוּ דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים יַעֲלוּ בְאֶחָד וּמָאתַיִם. שֶּׁהָיָה רִבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר אֶת שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לְהִימָּנוֹת מְקַדֵּשׁ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים אֵינוֹ מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶלָּא שִׁשָּׁה דְבָרִים בִּלְבַד. רִבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר שִׁבְעָה. MISHNAH: If somebody had bundles of fenugreek of vineyard kilaim119Of which all usufruct is forbidden., they should be burned. If they were mixed with others, Rebbi Meïr said, all should be burned, but the Sages say, they may be lifted by one in 200, since Rebbi Meïr said, anything counted120I. e., sold by the piece. sanctifies121Makes all usufruct forbidden in the most minute amount.; but the Sages say only six things sanctify; Rebbi Aqiba says seven122Enumerated in the next Mishnah..
הלכה: וְכַמָּה הִיא חֲבִילָה עֶשְׂרִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה זֵירִין. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹנָה אַרְבַּע מִינְהֵן מִיטָּה. HALAKHAH: How much is a bundle? 25 plants. Rebbi Jonah said, four to a bed123This is from Terumot 10:5, Notes 52,53. Fenugreek is never sold by the piece ib quantities less than a bundle. In Terumot, R. Joḥanan is mentioned instead of R. Jonah..
רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן וְרִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ. חַד אָמַר דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי מֵאִיר עֲשָׂרָה דְבָרִים מְקַדְּשִׁין. וְחָרָנָה אָמַר דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי מֵאִיר כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים מְקַדְּשִין. רִבִּי יַעֲקֹב בַּר אָחָא אָמַר שְׁמוּעָתָא. מַתְנִיתָא פְלִיגָא עַל מָאן דְּאָמַר דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי מֵאִיר עֲשָׂרָה דְבָרִים מְקַדְּשִׁין. דְּתַנִּינָן תַּמָּן אָמַר רִבִּי יוּדָה לֹא הוּזְכְּרוּ רִימּוֹנֵי בָדָן וַחֲצִירֵי גֶבַע אֶלָּא שֶׁיְּהוּ מִתְעַשְּׂרִין וַדַּאי בְּכָל־מָקוֹם. Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish, one says according to Rebbi Meïr ten things sanctify108They sanctify in the most minute amounts and cannot be lifted. These include the six items listed in Mishnah 7 and the items forbidden in Mishnaiot 3,4,5,6, where Mishnah 3 is counted as one item.; the other says according to Rebbi Meïr all things131Sold by the piece. sanctify. Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said this as a tradition132The interpretation of statement of R. Meïr was already a tannaïtic problem.. A Mishnah disagrees with him who says, according to Rebbi Meïr ten things sanctify, as we have stated there133Kelim 17:4" href="/Mishnah_Kelim.17.4">Kelim17:4. The Mishnah refers to the rule that a vessel which has a hole the size of an average pomegranate is no longer considered a vessel and cannot be impure. There is a discussion whether “average pomegranate” means “Badan pomegranate.”: “Rebbi Jehudah134In the Mishnah: R. Yose. This reading seems to be the correct one since R. Yose is the youngest of all Tannaïm mentioned there, is mentioned last, and practice follows him. said, Badan pomegranates and Geba135This Geba is an otherwise unidentified place in Samaria. Since Badan and Geba are in Samaria and Samaritans never tithe produce for sale and reject the notion of heave and tithes for produce other than grain, wine, and olive oil, one knows that pomegranates and leeks are subject to heave and tithing since Samaritans are a Jewish sect, and their produce is certainly ṭevel for heave and tithes.
The reading חצירי is that of the scribe of the ms. who corrected it to חריצי, the form found in the Venice text. The text in Kelim reads חצירי “leeks”; neither Hebrew חריץ “incision, furrow”, nor Arabic ח̇רצ “palm branch” make any sense here. leeks were mentioned only because one must tithe them as certain everywhere.”
וּשְׁאָר כָּל־הָרִימּוֹנִין אֵין דַּרְכָּן לְהִימָּנוֹת. אֶלָּא רִימּוֹנֵי בָדָן עַל יְדֵי שֶׁהֵן חֲבִיבִין דַּרְכָּן לְהִימָּנוֹת. וּשְׁאָר כָּל־הָרִימּוֹנִין עַל יְדֵי שֶׁאֵין חֲבִיבִין אֵין דַּרְכָּן לְהִימָּנוֹת. Does one not count other pomegranates? But Badan pomegranates one usually counts because they are preferred; other pomegranates one does not usually count because they are not preferred.
