Talmud su Deuteronomio 14:28

מִקְצֵ֣ה ׀ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֗ים תּוֹצִיא֙ אֶת־כָּל־מַעְשַׂר֙ תְּבוּאָ֣תְךָ֔ בַּשָּׁנָ֖ה הַהִ֑וא וְהִנַּחְתָּ֖ בִּשְׁעָרֶֽיךָ׃

Alla fine di ogni tre anni, anche nello stesso anno, farai emergere tutta la decima del tuo aumento e la sistemerai entro le tue porte.

Jerusalem Talmud Maaser Sheni

It is written (Deut. 14:28): “At the end of three years you shall take out all tithe of your produce, in that year, and deposit it in your gates.” I could think that once in a Sabbatical cycle you have to distribute the tithes including the tithe of the poor76The tithe of the poor is mentioned separately since the paragraph in question introduces the tithe of the poor.. The verse says “at the end of three years,” once in three years and not once in seven; i. e., in the third and the seventh77This formulation is inconsistent. It must either be the 3rd and the 6th year for the obligation of tithes, or the 4th and the 7th which are finally determined to be the times of delivery., twice in a Sabbatical cycle. Do I understand at New Year’s Day, that on New Year’s Day you have to distribute the tithes including the tithe of the poor? The verse says “at the end of three years.” “At the end” means at its conclusion you remove, you do not remove on New Year’s Day. If it is at the end of the year, I could understand that at the beginning of the fourth you have to remove the tithes including the tithe of the poor; the verse says (Deut. 26:12): “If you have finished tithing [all tithe of]78In the masoretic text, missing in the quote. your produce,” when you have tithed all your fruits. 79From here on, including the tannaitic parts of the next two paragraphs, a similar text is in Sifry Deut. §109; in very shortened form also §302. If it is when you have tithed all your fruits, could I understand even on Ḥanukkah80Since Ḥanukkah is not connected with the agricultural year and is not a biblical holiday, its mention does not make much sense, in particular because the tithing year for trees and their fruits ends only on the 14th of Ševaṭ, more than a month and a half after the start of Ḥanukkah. The 15th of Ševaṭ is mentioned as “New Year of trees” in Mishnah Roš Haššanah 1:2; in the opinion of the House of Shammai it is the first of Ševaṭ. This indetermination in itself disqualifies the New Year of trees as a biblical date. The discussion of the date is in Roš Haššanah 1:2 (fol. 57a), Babli 14a.? It says here, “at the end of;” it says further (Deut. 26:12): “At the end81In the biblical text, מקץ not מקצה. of seven years, on the fixed time of the Sabbatical year, on the festival of booths.” Since “at the end” there means at a fixed time, so here also at a fixed time. Since there “at the end” means the holiday of booths, does it here also mean the holiday of booths? The verse says “if you have finished tithing all tithe of your produce,” when you have finished tithing all of your fruits? On Passover of the fourth year82Since this is the first biblical holiday after the end of tithing fruits of the preceding year..

Jerusalem Talmud Maaser Sheni

(Deut. 14:28) “In that year” your are obliged to remove it but you are not obliged to remove it in any other year83In the Sifry, this sentence refers to a later discussion which in the Yerushalmi is purely amoraic.. “In that year” you are obliged to remove; you are not required to remove vegetables which grew between New Year’s Day and Passover84Since the vegetable belongs to the following, not to this year.. The colleagues say, because he can make a declaration85The declaration in the Temple that he fulfilled all his duties for tithes, Deut. 26:13–15. [for the latter] only in the fifth year86Since the declaration is for all tithes, a declaration for part of the vegetables of a year is unacceptable.. Rebbi Hila said, because it does not hinder the declaration in the fourth, only in the fifth. Where do they differ? If he transgressed and included it in his declaration. According to the colleagues it is invalid, according to Rebbi Hila is it valid86Since the declaration is for all tithes, a declaration for part of the vegetables of a year is unacceptable..
