Mishnah שביעית ח׳:ב׳ · Sheviis 8:2
שְׁבִיעִית, נִתְּנָה לַאֲכִילָה וְלִשְׁתִיָּה וּלְסִיכָה,
לֶאֱכֹל דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לֶאֱכֹל,
וְלָסוּךְ דָּבָר שֶׁדַּרְכּוֹ לָסוּךְ.
לֹא יָסוּךְ יַיִן וָחֹמֶץ,
אֲבָל סָךְ הוּא אֶת הַשָּׁמֶן.
וְכֵן בִּתְרוּמָה וּבְמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי.
קַל מֵהֶם שְׁבִיעִית, שֶׁנִּתְּנָה לְהַדְלָקַת הַנֵּר:
Sheviis [produce] was given for eating, drinking, and anointing:
to eat what is normally eaten,
and to anoint with what is normally used for anointing.
One may not anoint [with] wine or vinegar,
but one may anoint with the oil.
And likewise with terumah and maaser sheini.
Sheviis is more lenient than they, in that it was [also] given for kindling a lamp:
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.
