Three Lands for Sheviis

שָׁלֹשׁ אֲרָצוֹת לַשְּׁבִיעִית
Mishnah שביעית ו׳:א׳ · Sheviis 6:1
שָׁלֹשׁ אֲרָצוֹת לַשְּׁבִיעִית.
כָּל שֶׁהֶחֱזִיקוּ עוֹלֵי בָבֶל, מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַד כְּזִיב,
לֹא נֶאֱכָל וְלֹא נֶעֱבָד.
וְכָל שֶׁהֶחֱזִיקוּ עוֹלֵי מִצְרַיִם, מִכְּזִיב וְעַד הַנָּהָר וְעַד אֲמָנָה,
נֶאֱכָל, אֲבָל לֹא נֶעֱבָד.
מִן הַנָּהָר וּמֵאֲמָנָה וְלִפְנִים,
נֶאֱכָל וְנֶעֱבָד:
There are three lands with respect to Sheviis.
All that those who came up from Bavel took hold of, from Eretz Yisrael to Keziv -
may neither be eaten nor worked.
And all that those who came up from Mitzrayim took hold of, from Keziv to the River and to Amanah -
may be eaten, but not worked.
From the River and from Amanah and inward,
may be eaten and worked:

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.
