A major rule was stated concerning the seventh [year]: Whatever is reserved for human consumption may not be made into a plaster for a person, and surely not for an animal. Whatever is not reserved for human consumption may be made into a plaster for a person, but not for an animal. Whatever is reserved neither for human consumption nor animal consumption — [if] he intended it for human consumption and animal consumption, we apply to it the stringencies of both human [food] and animal [food]; [if] he intended it for [use as] wood then it is [treated] as wood; for example, the savory, the hyssop, and the oregano.

Seventh [-year produce] was given [to be used] for eating, drinking, and anointing; to eat that which it is customary to eat, and to anoint [with] that with which it is customary to anoint. One may not anoint with wine or vinegar but one may anoint with oil. So too with terumah and maaser sheni. Greater leniency is applied to seventh [-year produce] than to them in that it may be used for kindling a lamp.
