Mishnah שביעית ז׳:ו׳ · Sheviis 7:6
הַוֶּרֶד וְהַכֹּפֶר וְהַקְּטָף וְהַלֹּטֶם,
יֵשׁ לָהֶם שְׁבִיעִית וְלִדְמֵיהֶן שְׁבִיעִית.
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר,
אֵין לַקְּטָף שְׁבִיעִית, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵינוֹ פֶרִי:
The rose, henna, balsam-sap, and rockrose -
they have Sheviis, and their proceeds have Sheviis.
Rabbi Shimon says:
balsam-sap has no Sheviis [sanctity], because it is not a fruit:
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.
