Tosefta for Numbers 18:12
כֹּ֚ל חֵ֣לֶב יִצְהָ֔ר וְכָל־חֵ֖לֶב תִּיר֣וֹשׁ וְדָגָ֑ן רֵאשִׁיתָ֛ם אֲשֶׁר־יִתְּנ֥וּ לַֽיהוָ֖ה לְךָ֥ נְתַתִּֽים׃
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the corn, the first part of them which they give unto the LORD, to thee have I given them.
Tosefta Terumot
One who brings ears of grain inside his house in order to rub off the chaff (=מלילות, see Maasr. 4:5), behold, he [may] take terumah [of the ears of grain in that state]. A Levite for whom ears of grain were designated, to in the future make a threshing floor with them, [or] grapes to in the future make them into wine, [or] olives to in the future make them into oil -- just as the first terumah (Num. 18:12) is taken from the threshing floor and from the vat, so too the terumah of tithes is taken from the threshing floor and from the vat.
