וְהַמְגַבֵּב בַּיָּבֵשׁ, עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה.
עֲלֵי קָנִים וַעֲלֵי גְפָנִים, עַד שֶׁיִּשְּׁרוּ מֵאֲבִיהֶן.
וְהַמְגַבֵּב בַּיָּבֵשׁ, עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה.

And one who gathers dry [grasses may do so] until the second rainfall descends.

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.
