Mishnah שביעית ט׳:ז׳ · Sheviis 9:7
כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ,
הַמַּשְׂכִּיר בַּיִת לַחֲבֵרוֹ עַד הַגְּשָׁמִים, עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה.
הַמֻּדַּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ עַד הַגְּשָׁמִים, עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה.
עַד אֵימָתַי עֲנִיִּים נִכְנָסִים לַפַּרְדֵּסוֹת, עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה.
מֵאֵימָתַי נֶהֱנִין וְשׂוֹרְפִין בַּתֶּבֶן וּבַקַּשׁ שֶׁל שְׁבִיעִית, מִשֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה:
Similarly:
one who rents a house to his fellow 'until the rains' [means] until the second rainfall descends.
One who vowed not to benefit from his fellow 'until the rains' [is bound] until the second rainfall descends.
Until when may the poor enter the orchards [to glean]? Until the second rainfall descends.
From when may one benefit from and burn Sheviis straw and stubble? From when the second rainfall descends:
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.

How long do 'until the rains' terms run — a house rented until the rains, a neder barring benefit until the rains, the poor entering the orchards?Until the revia shniya (the second rain, around 23 Marcheshvan) falls—
Sheviis straw and stubble (teven and kash) is animal fodder, off-limits for other use — from when may one benefit from it and burn it?From when the revia shniya of motzaei Sheviis falls — after that rain, whatever is left in the field is ruined for the animals anyway—
