Text Excerpt
שלש שדות ושתי מענות. וכמה מלא מענה? מאה אמה, כדתניא: החורש את הקבר — עושה בית הפרס מלא מענה מאה אמה.
A beit haperas extends over 3 fields, the field that was plowed and the two adjacent fields in the direction it was plowed. For example: if one plowed the field from north to south, each of the fields adjacent to it on the north and south is also considered a beit haperas. But whereas the plowed field is a beit haperas in its entirety, the two adjacent fields are a beit haperas only to the extent of two furrows, one furrow on each side. And how much is the full length of a furrow [ma’ana]? It is 100 cubits, as it is taught in a Mishnah (Oholot 17:1): One who plows a field containing a grave, and who may have strewn the bones throughout the field, renders the field a beit haperas up to the full length of a furrow, which is 100 cubits.
ואין תרומה אחר תרומה כו׳. מתניתין מני? רבי עקיבא היא, דתנן: השותפין שתרמו זה אחר זה, רבי אליעזר אומר: תרומת שניהם תרומה.
§ The Mishnah teaches: And there is no teruma after teruma. Once one designates produce from his crop as teruma, if he then designates additional produce from that crop as teruma, it is not teruma. The Talmud explains: Whose opinion is expressed in the Mishnah? It is the opinion of R' Akiva, as we learned in a Mishnah (Terumot 3:3): In the case of joint owners of produce who separated teruma one after the other, R' Eliezer says: The teruma of both of them is teruma, as each is considered to have separated from his share of the produce.
רבי עקיבא אומר: אין תרומת שניהם תרומה, וחכמים אומרים: אם תרם הראשון כשיעור — אין תרומת השני תרומה, ואם לא תרם כשיעור — תרומת השני תרומה.
R' Akiva says: The teruma of neither of them is teruma. Since each separated teruma independently, it is clear that neither accepts the separation of the other, and therefore neither is valid. And the Rabbis say: If the first one separated teruma of the correct measure, i.e., 1/50th of the produce, the produce is thereby tithed, and therefore the teruma of the second is not teruma; but if the first did not separate teruma of the correct measure, and he separated too little, the teruma of the second is teruma.
