Mishnah שביעית ב׳:ז׳ · Sheviis 2:7
הָאֹרֶז וְהַדֹּחַן וְהַפְּרָגִין וְהַשֻּׁמְשְׁמִין שֶׁהִשְׁרִישׁוּ לִפְנֵי רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה,
מִתְעַשְּׂרִין לְשֶׁעָבַר, וּמֻתָּרִין בַּשְּׁבִיעִית.
וְאִם לָאו, אֲסוּרִין בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, וּמִתְעַשְּׂרִין לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה:
Rice, millet, poppy, and sesame that took root before Rosh Hashana,
are tithed by the previous year, and are permitted in Sheviis.
And if not, they are forbidden in Sheviis, and are tithed by the coming year:
A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.
