Talmud for Deuteronomy 26:2
וְלָקַחְתָּ֞ מֵרֵאשִׁ֣ית ׀ כָּל־פְּרִ֣י הָאֲדָמָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר תָּבִ֧יא מֵֽאַרְצְךָ֛ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָ֖ךְ וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ בַטֶּ֑נֶא וְהָֽלַכְתָּ֙ אֶל־הַמָּק֔וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִבְחַר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ לְשַׁכֵּ֥ן שְׁמ֖וֹ שָֽׁם׃
that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there.
Jerusalem Talmud Bikkurim
Rebbi Joḥanan said, in all cases they judged by the rules of robbers. Rebbi Yose said, that is what the Mishnah6Mishnah 1:2. means: “Why can he not bring? Because it was said (Deut. 26:2): ‘the beginning of the First Fruits of your land.’ ”

Rebbi Zeriqan asked before Rebbi Zeïra: Is the Mishnah Rebbi’s since Rebbi said, all roots live off one another11‘Orlah 1:1, Note 39.? He said to him, it is everybody’s opinion. Here, the Torah said (Deut. 26:2): “the beginning of the First Fruits of your land,” that all growth be from your land.

MISHNAH: Why can he not bring? Because it was said (Deut. 26:2): “You shall bring the beginning of the First Fruits of your land,” that all the growth should be from your land. For the same reason sharecroppers, tenant farmers, sicarii21Knife-wielding robbers who take deeds of property as ransom for the lives of the property owners. The sicarii mentioned in this Mishnah obviously are Jews; in Mishnah Giṭṭin 5:6 the sicarii are Gentiles., and robbers cannot bring, since it is said: “The beginning of the First Fruits of your land.”
