מתני׳ כיצד מברכין על הפירות? על פירות האילן הוא אומר: ״בורא פרי העץ״, חוץ מן היין, שעל היין הוא אומר: ״בורא פרי הגפן״. ועל פירות הארץ הוא אומר: ״בורא פרי האדמה״, חוץ מן הפת, שעל הפת הוא אומר: ״המוציא לחם מן הארץ״. ועל הירקות הוא אומר: ״בורא פרי האדמה״. רבי יהודה אומר: ״בורא מיני דשאים״.
Mishnah: This Mishnah discusses the blessings recited over various foods. How does one recite a blessing over fruits? Over different fruits that grow on a tree one recites: Who creates fruit of the tree, with the exception of wine. Although wine is produced from fruit of the tree, due to its significance, its blessing differs from other fruits of the tree. Over wine one recites: Who creates fruit of the vine. Over fruits that grow from the earth, one recites: Who creates fruit of the ground, with the exception of bread. Bread, too, is significant and its blessing differs from other fruits of the ground, as over bread one recites: Who brings forth bread from the earth. Over herbs and leafy vegetables one recites: Who creates fruit of the ground. R' Yehuda says that there is room to distinguish between fruits that grow from the earth, herbs, and leafy vegetables. Although they are all fruit of the ground, since they have different qualities, the blessing on the latter is: Who creates various kinds of herbs.
