וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ כָל־הָעֵצִ֖ים אֶל־הָאָטָ֑ד לֵ֥ךְ אַתָּ֖ה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ׃
Тогда все деревья сказали ежевике: иди ты и царствуй над нами.
Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit
MISHNAH: Bundles of new sprouts44Mishnah Uqeẓin 3:4. The translation follows the text there: לוּלָבֵי וְרָדִים וְשֶׁל עָדָל וַעֲלֵי הַלּוּף הַשּׁוֹטֶה since the text enclosed in parenthesis, של ערלה “of orlah”, makes no sense. Orlah is forbidden for any use, certainly for food. Soft new shoots (mainly of vines) can be used as food, but for most people they are simply pieces of wood. Hence, they do not have the status of food unless somebody takes them as such. and carobs are subject to the Sabbatical and so are their proceeds; they are subject to removal and so are their proceeds. Branches of terebinth, pistachio, and thornbushes are subject to the Sabbatical and so are their proceeds; they are not subject to removal nor are their proceeds92If nobody took them they would stay on the trees which are perennial. It follows that pine needles, if they could be used as food, would not be subject to removal.. But the leaves are subject to removal since they fall from their stems.
Roses, henna101Definition of Maimonides. Arukh and Geonim: cloves., balsamum, and chestnut are subject to the Sabbatical and so are their proceeds. Rebbi Simeon says, balsamum is not subject to the Sabbatical because it is not a fruit102But a sap. He implies that no sap falls under sabbatical prohibitions.. If new roses were preserved in old oil, the roses should be taken out114If no rose leaves are left for the wild animals, the preserved Sabbatical leaves have to be given to the poor to eat but the oil, pressed from non-Sabbatical olives, may be retained by the owner. But if Sabbatical rose leaves are preserved in post-Sabbatical oil, everything has to be removed since the older leaves, which should have been removed, immediately give taste to the oil. One cannot explain "old in new" by "sixth year roses in Sabbatical oil" since these never would be subject to removal.. Old in new are subject to removal. New carobs preserved in old wine and old ones in new are subject to removal115Since the carobs will quickly leave their taste in the oil. The Tosephta (5:15) states identical rules for carob pods and rose leaves; the author of the Tosephta must hold that the hard carob pods leave taste in the oil only if they are steeped in it a very long time.. This is the principle: Anything that gives flavor to another kind is subject to removal, in its own kind in the minutest amount116Since the taste of forbidden and permitted food cannot be distinguished if they are of the same kind, a minute admixture of forbidden food makes permitted food of the same kind also forbidden.. The Sabbatical makes forbidden in the minutest amount in its own kind, and by giving taste in another kind.
