Mishnah שביעית ד׳:ז׳ · Sheviis 4:7
מֵאֵימָתַי אוֹכְלִין פֵּרוֹת הָאִילָן בַּשְּׁבִיעִית,
הַפַּגִּים מִשֶּׁיַּזְרִיחוּ, אוֹכֵל בָּהֶם פִּתּוֹ בַּשָּׂדֶה.
בִּחֲלוּ, כּוֹנֵס לְתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ.
וְכֵן כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם בִּשְׁאָר שְׁנֵי שָׁבוּעַ, חַיָּב בַּמַּעַשְׂרוֹת:
From when may one eat the fruit of a tree in Sheviis?
Unripe figs - once they redden, one may eat his bread with them in the field.
Once they ripen, he may bring [them] into his house.
And likewise the like of them in the other years of the [seven-year] cycle, one is liable for tithes:
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.
