The Great Rule of Sheviis

כְּלָל גָּדוֹל בַּשְּׁבִיעִית
כְּלָל גָּדוֹל אָמְרוּ בַּשְּׁבִיעִית,
כָּל שֶׁהוּא מַאֲכַל אָדָם וּמַאֲכַל בְּהֵמָה, וּמִמִּין הַצּוֹבְעִים, וְאֵינוֹ מִתְקַיֵּם בָּאָרֶץ,
יֶשׁ לוֹ שְׁבִיעִית וּלְדָמָיו שְׁבִיעִית,
יֶשׁ לוֹ בִּעוּר וּלְדָמָיו בִּעוּר.
וְאֵיזֶה זֶה,
עֲלֵה הַלּוּף הַשּׁוֹטֶה, וַעֲלֵה הַדַּנְדַּנָּה, הָעֻלְשִׁין, וְהַכְּרֵשִׁין, וְהָרְגִילָה, וְנֵץ הֶחָלָב.
וּמַאֲכַל בְּהֵמָה,
הַחוֹחִים וְהַדַּרְדָּרִים.
וּמִמִּין הַצּוֹבְעִים,
סְפִיחֵי אִסְטִיס, וְקוֹצָה.
יֶשׁ לָהֶם שְׁבִיעִית וְלִדְמֵיהֶן שְׁבִיעִית,
יֶשׁ לָהֶם בִּעוּר וְלִדְמֵיהֶן בִּעוּר:
