“At sa mga Levita ay magsasalita ka at sasabihin mo sa kanila: Kapag kinuha ninyo mula sa mga anak ni Israel ang ikapu na ibinigay Ko sa inyo mula sa kanila bilang inyong mana, magbubukod kayo mula roon ng handog para sa Walang-Hanggan, isang ikapu mula sa ikapu.
Mishneh Torah, Gifts to the Poor
As for ma'asér rishon that was taken for the Levite, he [the Levite] separates from it one-tenth and gives it to a priest. It is called terumat ma'aser [the "gift offering of the tithe"], and about this it is written, (Num. 18:26) Speak to the Levites [and say to them: When you receive from the Israelites their tithes, which I have assigned to you as your share, you shall set aside from them one-tenth of the tithe as a gift to the LORD].
Mishneh Torah, Leavened and Unleavened Bread
One does not fulfill his obligation by eating matsa that is forbidden to him, such as if he ate it untithed, or [as] first tithe from which the priestly tithe was not taken or if he stole it. This is the general principle: We fulfill our obligation with anything upon which we may recite the Grace after the Meals. And we do not fulfill our obligation with anything upon which we may not recite the Grace after the Meals.
Mishneh Torah, Positive Mitzvot
