Mishnah שביעית ד׳:ב׳ · Sheviis 4:2
שָׂדֶה שֶׁנִּתְקַוְּצָה, תִּזָּרַע בְּמוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית.
שֶׁנִּטַּיְּבָה אוֹ שֶׁנִּדַּיְּרָה, לֹא תִזָּרַע בְּמוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית.
שָׂדֶה שֶׁנִּטַּיְּבָה,
בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין אוֹכְלִין פֵּרוֹתֶיהָ בַּשְּׁבִיעִית,
וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, אוֹכְלִין.
בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵין אוֹכְלִין פֵּרוֹת שְׁבִיעִית בְּטוֹבָה,
וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, אוֹכְלִין בְּטוֹבָה וְשֶׁלֹּא בְטוֹבָה.
רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, חִלּוּף הַדְּבָרִים,

A field that was cleared of thorns may be sown in the year after Sheviis.
[One] that was improved [by plowing] or manured [by penning], may not be sown in the year after Sheviis.
A field that was improved [by plowing] -
Beis Shammai say: one may not eat its produce in Sheviis,
and Beis Hillel say: one may eat.
Beis Shammai say: one may not eat Sheviis produce [received] as a favor,
and Beis Hillel say: one may eat [it] whether as a favor or not as a favor.
Rabbi Yehuda says: the statements are reversed -
this is [one] of the leniencies of Beis Shammai and the stringencies of Beis Hillel:

what does this mean?

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.

Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.
