Mishnah שביעית ז׳:ב׳ · Sheviis 7:2
וְעוֹד כְּלָל אַחֵר אָמְרוּ,
כָּל שֶׁאֵינוֹ מַאֲכַל אָדָם וּמַאֲכַל בְּהֵמָה, וּמִמִּין הַצּוֹבְעִין, וּמִתְקַיֵּם בָּאָרֶץ,
יֶשׁ לוֹ שְׁבִיעִית וּלְדָמָיו שְׁבִיעִית,
אֵין לוֹ בִּעוּר וְאֵין לְדָמָיו בִּעוּר.
אֵי זֶהוּ,
עִקַּר הַלּוּף הַשּׁוֹטֶה, וְעִקַּר הַדַּנְדַּנָּה, וְהָעַרְקַבְנִין, וְהַחַלְבְּצִין, וְהַבֻּכְרִיָּה.
וּמִמִּין הַצּוֹבְעִין,

יֵשׁ לָהֶם שְׁבִיעִית וְלִדְמֵיהֶן שְׁבִיעִית,
אֵין לָהֶם בִּעוּר וְלֹא לִדְמֵיהֶן בִּעוּר.

אָמְרוּ לוֹ,
לָהֶן אֵין בִּעוּר, קַל וָחֹמֶר לִדְמֵיהֶן:

it has Sheviis, and its proceeds have Sheviis;
but it is not subject to biur, nor are its proceeds.
What is this?
the root of wild arum, the root of mint, wild artichoke, chalvatzin, and bucharia.
And of the dye-producing species:
madder and mignonette,
they have Sheviis, and their proceeds have Sheviis;
but they are not subject to biur, nor are their proceeds.
Rabbi Meir says:
their proceeds must be removed [by biur] until Rosh Hashana.
They said to him:
[If] to them [the plants] there is no biur, a kal vachomer - all the more so - to their proceeds:

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.

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.
