“Ganito ang sabi ng Walang-Hanggan ng mga Hukbo, ang Diyos ng Israel: Kunin mo ang mga kasulatang ito, ang kasulatang ito ng pagbili, ang nakatatak at ang kasulatang ito na nakabukas, at ilagay mo ang mga ito sa isang sisidlang luwad, upang manatili ang mga ito nang mahabang panahon.”
Tosefta Sheviit
Rabbi Yehuda says, the Shevi'it of the Persian figs is in the second year [of the agricultural cycle], since they ripen every two years (Sheviit 5:1). They said to him, behold, they grow near you in Tiberias, and they always bear fruit once a year. One who buries luf [in the soil] during Shevi'it (Sheviit 5:2), Rebbi says, it is customary to bury it in a perforated pot so that it does not sprout. Even though there is no proof of the matter, there is a hint of the matter, as it says (Jer. 32:14), "And put them in an earthenware vessel, so that they may last a long time."
