The Second Rainfall

עַד שֶׁתֵּרֵד רְבִיעָה שְׁנִיָּה
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:

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.

Structure
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.
