[If] she consecrated her dough before she thoroughly mixed [it], and she redeemed it, it is obligated [in challah]. [If she consecrated the dough] after she thoroughly mixed [it] and she redeemed it, it is obligated [in challah]. [But if] she consecrated it before she thoroughly mixed [it], and the [Temple] treasurer mixed it, and later she redeemed it, it is exempt [from challah], because at the time of its [potential] liability it was exempt.

Similarly, [if] one consecrated his fruits before they reached the tithing stage, and redeemed them, they are obligated. [If he consecrated them] after they reached the tithing stage, and he redeemed them, they are obligated. [If] he consecrated them before they were finished, and the Temple clerk finished them, and afterward [the owner] redeemed them, they are exempt, since at the time of their [potential] liability they were exempt.
