the benefit for putting a person under an obligation. In what way? — If an Israelite separated terumah from his pile and another Israelite found him and said to him: ‘Here is a sela’ for you and give it to the son of my daughter, a priest’, it is permitted. If, however, a priest [approached him] on behalf of another priest, it is forbidden. And why does not the Tanna [of the Baraitha] also mention the case of the priest's gifts? — He can explain it to you [as follows]. When terumah is consecrated as such, since it is not redeemed, no mistake can be made with it. But in these cases [of the firstling and priest's gifts], since they are consecrated only for their value, the priest may make a mistake with them, thinking that their holiness is redeemed for the four zuz [i.e., the sela’] and thus will come to treat them after the manner of hullin. Raba said: Terumah from abroad is not subject to the ruling of a priest who helps in the threshing floors. R. Hama gave it to his attendant. Samuel said: Terumah from abroad is neutralized in a larger quantity. Rabbah neutralized it in a larger quantity and used to eat it in the days of his [levitical] impurity. R. Huna the son of R. Joshua, when he happened to have wine of terumah [from abroad], used to mix two natla of hullin with one natla of terumah, and after that he would add one [natla] and take one. Samuel further said: Terumah from abroad one may go on eating, leaving the separation for afterwards. Samuel further said: Terumah from abroad is forbidden only for one whose uncleanness issues from his body; and this is the case only as regards eating, but as regards touching, there is no objection. Said Rabina: Therefore a woman during menstruation may separate the hallah and a priest who is a minor, eats it; and if there is not a priest who is a minor, she takes it on the point of the shovel and throws it in the oven, and then separates other hallah in order that the law of hallah may not be forgotten and an adult priest eats it. R. Nahman, R. Amram and Rami b. Hama were sailing in a boat. R. Amram went away to ease himself. A certain woman came, approached and asked them: Is it allowed for one made unclean through a corpse that he should bathe and eat terumah from abroad? — Said R. Nahman to Rami b. Hama:
