R’ Yishmael says: The omer was brought on the Sabbath from three seah, and on a weekday from five. But the Sages say: Whether on the Sabbath or on a weekday, it came from three. R’ Chanina, the administrator of the Kohanim, says: On the Sabbath it was reaped by an individual, with one sickle, and in one basket; on a weekday by three, in three baskets, with three sickles. But the Sages say: Whether on the Sabbath or on weekdays, [it was done] by three [people], with three baskets, and three sickles.
