Mishnah שביעית ז׳:ג׳ · Sheviis 7:3
קְלִפֵּי רִמּוֹן וְהַנֵּץ שֶׁלּוֹ, קְלִפֵּי אֱגוֹזִים וְהַגַּלְעִינִין,
יֵשׁ לָהֶם שְׁבִיעִית וְלִדְמֵיהֶן שְׁבִיעִית.
הַצַּבָּע,
צוֹבֵעַ לְעַצְמוֹ,
וְלֹא יִצְבַּע בְּשָׂכָר,
שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין סְחוֹרָה בְּפֵרוֹת שְׁבִיעִית,
וְלֹא בִבְכוֹרוֹת, וְלֹא בִתְרוּמוֹת, וְלֹא בִנְבֵלוֹת, וְלֹא בִטְרֵפוֹת, וְלֹא בִשְׁקָצִים, וְלֹא בִרְמָשִׂים.
וְלֹא יִהְיֶה לוֹקֵחַ יַרְקוֹת שָׂדֶה וּמוֹכֵר בַּשּׁוּק,
אֲבָל הוּא לוֹקֵט וּבְנוֹ מוֹכֵר עַל יָדוֹ.
לָקַח לְעַצְמוֹ וְהוֹתִיר,
מֻתָּר לְמָכְרָן:
Pomegranate peels and its blossom, nut shells and [fruit] pits -
they have Sheviis, and their proceeds have Sheviis.
A dyer
may dye for himself,
but may not dye for a fee,
for one may not do business with Sheviis produce,
nor with firstborn animals, nor with terumah, nor with carcasses, nor with tereifos, nor with detestable creatures, nor with creeping things.
And he may not buy field vegetables and sell [them] in the market,
but he may gather and his son may sell on his behalf.
[If] he bought for himself and had extra,
he is permitted to sell them:
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.
