משנה: אֵין מוֹכְרִין פֵּירוֹת שְׁבִיעִית לֹא בְמִידָּה וְלֹא בְמִשְׁקָל וְלֹא בְמִנְייָן וְלֹא תְאֵנִים בְּמִנְייָן וְלֹא יֶרֶק בְּמִשְׁקָל. בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים אַף לֹא אֲגוּדוֹת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים אֶת שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱגוֹד אוֹתוֹ בַבַּיִת אוֹגְדִין אוֹתוֹ בַשּׁוּק כְּגוֹן הַכְּרֵישִׁין וְנֵץ הֶחָלָב. MISHNAH: Sabbatical produce should not be sold41Some produce collected in the Sabbatical may be routinely sold since it is collected from the wild, not from cultivated fields; Mishnah 9:1. Other produce may be sold if a surplus has been collected. by measure, weight, or count. Figs may not be sold by count nor vegetables by weight42These are examples illustrating the preceding sentence.. The House of Shammai say, not [vegetables] in bundles. But the House of Hillel say, anything usually stored in bundles in the house may be bundled on the market; for example leeks and milk bud43Sheviit 7:1:10" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Sheviit.7.1.10">Chapter 7, Note 16..
הלכה: לָמָּה כְּדִי שֶׁיִּמָּֽכְרוּ בְזוֹל. וְיִשָּֽׁקְלוּ בְלִיטְרָא וְיִמָּֽכְרוּ בְזוֹל. אִם אָמַר אַתְּ כֵּן אַף הוּא אֵינוֹ נוֹהֵג בָּהֶן בִּקְדוּשָׁה. HALAKHAH: Why? So it should be sold cheaply. Why could it not be cheaply sold by the pound44Vegetables usually sold by the ounce, when sold by the pound are wholesale and therefore cheaper.? If you say so, he will not treat it as holy.
תַּנֵּי פֵּירוֹת חוּץ לָאָרֶץ שֶׁנִּכְנְסוּ לָאָרֶץ. לֹא יְהוּ נִמְכָּרִין לֹא בְמִידָּה וְלֹא בְמִשְׁקָל וּבְמִינְייָן אֶלָּא כְפֵירוֹת הָאָרֶץ וְאִם הָיוּ נִיכָּרִין מוּתָּר. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי בֵּי רִבִּי בּוּן כְּגוֹן אִילֵּין קורדקיא דְּסָֽלְקִין וּמִזְדַּבְּנִין מִן סוּסִיתָא לְטִיבֵּרִיָּא. It was stated46Tosephta 4:18: “Sabbatical Produce from outside the Land that entered the Land should not be sold by measure, weight, or count, but it is like produce of the Land.” That text does not permit trade of recognizable imports.: “Produce from outside the Land that entered the Land should not be sold by measure, weight, or count, but only like produce of the Land.” It they are recognizable, it is permitted. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, for example qwrdqy’47This fruit has not been identified. One possibility is to derive the word from Persian گردكان gardekān “walnut”. The language is unclear since produce brought from high-lying Hippos to low-lying Tiberias is brought down, not up, unless one denotes all import into the Holy Land as “bringing up”. brought up from Hippos and sold to Tiberias.
רִבִּי חִזְקִיָּה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי אַבָּא בַּר מָמָל זֶה שֶׁהוּא מוֹדֵד בִּכְפִישָׁה וְנִסְתַּייְמָה לוֹ שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשָׁה פְעָמִים. אָסוּר לָמוּד בָּהּ. אָמַר רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעְיָה אָסִיר מֵימַר עֲבַד אֶצְבָּעָךְ. Rebbi Ḥizqiah in the name of Rebbi Abba bar Mamal: If somebody measures with a box in which he made a sign two or three times, he may no longer use it for measuring48Even though the box was not created for measuring, when he made signs that indicate certain volumes, even if not those desired now, the box now has the status of a measuring device and is forbidden. Similarly, it is assumed that everybody knows the length of his own index finger; measuring by the length of his finger is like measuring by a measuring rod.. Rebbi Hoshaiah said, it is forbidden to say, give me your finger’s length.
טַבָּח כֹּהֵן שֶׁנִּתְמַנֶּה לוֹ בְּכוֹר מַהוּ מִקְטְעָתָהּ קוּפָּדִין וּמְזַבֵּנַתָּהּ גַוְא שׁוּקָא. רִבִּי יִרְמְיָה סָבַר מֵימַר שָׁרֵי מִן הָדָא אֶת שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֵיאָגֵד בַּבַּיִת אוֹגְדִין אוֹתוֹ בַשּׁוּק. אָמַר רִבִּי מָנָא כָּל־גַּרְמָא הִיא אָֽמְרָה דְהוּא אָסוּר שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא כְעוֹשֶׂה סְחוֹרָה בְגוּפוֹ. If a butcher who is a Cohen gets hold of a first-born49A first-born calf, lamb, or kid goat is a sacrifice by its birth and must be given to a Cohen. If it develops a defect that invalidates it as a sacrifice, it is the Cohen’s profane property (Deuteronomy.15.21-22">Deut. 15:21–22). However, it may not be treated with disrespect. The details are given in Tractate Bekhorot., may he cut it up into roasts and sell it on the market? Rebbi Jeremiah wanted to say it is permitted, analogous to “anything usually stored in bundles in the house may be bundled on the market50If the first-born is slaughtered for home use, in the absence of refrigeration it is either cut into large pieces for festive meals or into smaller pieces to be smoked or pickled; neither of them is the kind of cut one does for the market.”. Rebbi Mana said, that statement itself implies that it is forbidden, that he should not treat its body as merchandise.
