Mishnah שביעית ד׳:ט׳ · Sheviis 4:9
זֵיתִים, מִשֶּׁיַּכְנִיסוּ רְבִיעִית לִסְאָה, פּוֹצֵעַ וְאוֹכֵל בַּשָּׂדֶה.
הִכְנִיסוּ חֲצִי לֹג, כּוֹתֵשׁ וְסָךְ בַּשָּׂדֶה.
הִכְנִיסוּ שְׁלִישׁ, כּוֹתֵשׁ בַּשָּׂדֶה וְכוֹנֵס לְתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ.
וְכֵן כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם בִּשְׁאָר שְׁנֵי שָׁבוּעַ, חַיָּבִים בְּמַעַשְׂרוֹת.
וּשְׁאָר כָּל פֵּרוֹת הָאִילָן, כְּעוֹנָתָן לַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת, כֵּן עוֹנָתָן לַשְּׁבִיעִית:
Olives - once they yield a revi'is [of oil] per se'ah, one may crack and eat [them] in the field.
Once they yield half a log, he may crush and anoint [with the oil] in the field.
Once they yield a third, he may crush [them] in the field and bring [them] into his house.
And likewise the like of them in the other years of the cycle, are liable for tithes.
And all other tree fruit - as their season for tithes, so their season for Sheviis:

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.
