Mishnah שביעית ט׳:ט׳ · Sheviis 9:9
מִי שֶׁהָיוּ לוֹ פֵּרוֹת שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לוֹ בִירֻשָּׁה אוֹ שֶׁנִּתְּנוּ לוֹ בְּמַתָּנָה,
רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, יִנָּתְנוּ לְאוֹכְלֵיהֶן.
וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, אֵין הַחוֹטֵא נִשְׂכָּר, אֶלָּא יִמָּכְרוּ לְאוֹכְלֵיהֶן, וּדְמֵיהֶם יִתְחַלְּקוּ לְכָל אָדָם.
הָאוֹכֵל מֵעִסַּת שְׁבִיעִית עַד שֶׁלֹּא הוּרְמָה חַלָּתָהּ, חַיָּב מִיתָה:
One who had Sheviis produce that came to him by inheritance or was given to him as a gift -
Rabbi Eliezer says: it should be given to those who [properly] eat it.
But the Chachamim say: the sinner shall not be rewarded; rather, it should be sold to those who [properly] eat it, and its proceeds distributed to everyone.
One who eats from Sheviis dough before its challah has been separated, is liable to death:

If Sheviis produce that had become forbidden — kept past the biur, or guarded (shamur) — falls to him by inheritance or is given as a gift, what may the recipient do with it?Rabbi Eliezer: It goes to its eaters — the new owner may eat it himself; the sin was the giver's, not his—
Chachamim: It is sold to its eaters, and the money — now carrying the kedusha of Sheviis — is divided among everyoneאֵין הַחוֹטֵא נִשְׂכָּר — the sinner must not come out ahead
And if one ate from Sheviis dough before its challah was separated?Chayav misah — at the hands of Heaven—
