הַיּוֹצֵר, מוֹכֵר חֲמִשָּׁה כַּדֵּי שֶׁמֶן וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר כַּדֵּי יַיִן, שֶׁכֵּן דַּרְכּוֹ לְהָבִיא מִן הַהֶפְקֵר.

וּמוֹכֵר לְנָכְרִים בָּאָרֶץ,
וּלְיִּשְׂרָאֵל בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ:

And he may sell to gentiles in the Land,
and to Jews outside the Land:

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.
