27:1

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:

27:2

And have we [in these days] sprinkling [on the unclean]? Rami b. Hama replied to him: ‘Should we not take into consideration the views of the Elder’? While this was going on, R. Amram arrived. He said to them: This is what Rab said: One made unclean through a corpse, bathes and eats of the terumah from abroad. The law however is not in accordance with his view. Mar Zutra reported in the name of R. Shesheth: One made unclean through a reptile bathes and eats the terumah from abroad. The law however is not in accordance with his view. A FIRSTLING IS EATEN YEAR BY YEAR etc. Since [the Mishnah] says: IF A BLEMISH APPEARED ON IT DURING ITS FIRST YEAR, we infer that we count according to its own year. Whence is this proved: As Rab Judah reported in the name of Rab: Scripture says: Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God, year by year. Now, what year is it which enters into another? One must say it is the year of a firstling. The school of Rabbi, however, taught: The text ‘year by year’ denotes one day in this year and one day in the next year, and teaches that a firstling may be eaten for two days and a night. And according to the school of Rabbi, whence do they derive this? — They infer it from dedicated sacrifices. And as regards to dedicated sacrifices themselves, whence do we deduce this? — Said R. Aha the son of Jacob, Scripture says: A lamb of the first year, implying the year of the lamb, but not the year counted according to the Creation. And whence does Rab derive that a firstling may be eaten for two days and a night? — He derives it from the text: And the flesh of them shall be thine as the wave-breast and as the right thigh: Scripture compares it to the wave-breast and the right thigh of peace-offerings. Just as there they may be eaten for two days and a night, so here it may be eaten for two days and a night.
