Mishnah שביעית ט׳:א׳ · Sheviis 9:1
הַפֵּגָם, וְהַיַּרְבּוּזִין הַשּׁוֹטִים, וְהַחֲלַגְלוֹגִית, כֻּסְבָּר שֶׁבֶּהָרִים, וְהַכַּרְפַּס שֶׁבַּנְּהָרוֹת, וְהַגַּרְגֵּר שֶׁל אֲפָר,
פְּטוּרִין מִן הַמַּעַשְׂרוֹת,
וְנִלְקָחִין מִכָּל אָדָם בַּשְּׁבִיעִית,
שֶׁאֵין כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם נִשְׁמָר.
רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, סְפִיחֵי חַרְדָּל, מֻתָּרִין, שֶׁלֹּא נֶחְשְׁדוּ עֲלֵיהֶן עוֹבְרֵי עֲבֵרָה.
רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כָּל הַסְּפִיחִין מֻתָּרִין, חוּץ מִסְּפִיחֵי כְרוּב, שֶׁאֵין כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם בְּיַרְקוֹת שָׂדֶה.
וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כָּל הַסְּפִיחִין אֲסוּרִין:
Rue, wild amaranth, purslane, mountain coriander, river celery, and meadow cress -
are exempt from tithes,
and may be bought from anyone in Sheviis,
since their like is not [normally] guarded.
Rabbi Yehuda says: mustard aftergrowths are permitted, since transgressors are not suspected regarding them.
Rabbi Shimon says: all aftergrowths are permitted, except cabbage aftergrowths, since their like is not [found] among field vegetables.
But the Chachamim say: all aftergrowths are forbidden:

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.

Transcript
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.
