One who buys from a pauper, and similarly, a pauper who was given pieces of bread or chunks of pressed-fig — tithes from each and every one. But with dates and dried figs — he mixes [them] and takes [maaser]. R’ Yehudah said: When is this so? When the dona-tion is large. But when the donation is small, he tithes from each and every one.

One who buys from a grain wholesaler, and then buys from him a second time, cannot tithe from this [purchase] on behalf of that [one], even [if both are] from the same con-tainer, [and] even [if both are] of the same variety. [However,] the wholesaler is believed to say, ‘‘They are from one [person].’’

One who buys from a householder, and then buys from him a second time, may tithe from this [purchase] on behalf of that [one], even [if they are] from two boxes, [and] even [if they are] from two towns. [If] a householder was selling vegetables in the market: When they bring him from his [own] gardens, [the buyer] may tithe from one [purchase] on behalf of all; [when they bring him] from other gardens, he must tithe from each and every one.

[If] someone buys tevel from two places, he may tithe from this [purchase] on behalf of that [one]. Even though they said [this, nevertheless,] a person is not permitted to sell tevel except for a need.
