Mishnah שביעית ד׳:ח׳ · Sheviis 4:8
הַבֹּסֶר, מִשֶּׁהֵבִיא מַיִם, אוֹכֵל בּוֹ פִּתּוֹ בַּשָּׂדֶה.
הִבְאִישׁ, כּוֹנֵס לְתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ.
וְכֵן כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ בִּשְׁאָר שְׁנֵי שָׁבוּעַ, חַיָּב בְּמַעַשְׂרוֹת:
Unripe grapes - once they produce liquid, one may eat his bread with them in the field.
Once they ripen [darken], he may bring [them] into his house.
And likewise the like of it in the other years of the 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.
