Inherited or Gifted Sheviis Produce

שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לוֹ בִירֻשָּׁה
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:
