The potter may sell [up to] five oil jugs and fifteen wine jugs [to a person], since that is what one can [reasonably] bring from ownerless [property]; but if he brought more than this, it is permitted. He may sell to non-Jews in the Land [of Israel] and to a Jew outside the Land.

Beis Shammai say: One may not sell him a plowing cow during the seventh [year]. But Beis Hillel permit this, since he can slaughter it. One may sell him produce even during the planting season; and he may lend him his seah-measure even though he knows that he has a threshing-floor; and he may change maos into perutos for him, even though he knows that he has workers. But all of these are forbidden if they were stated explicitly.

A woman may lend to her friend who is suspected with regard to the seventh [year] a sifter, a sieve, a handmill, and an oven; but she may not sort or grind together with her. A chaver’s wife may lend to the wife of an am haaretz a sifter and a sieve; and she may sort and grind and sift together with her; but once she adds the water, she may not help her, for it is forbidden to lend support to transgressors. All these they stated only in the interests of peace. One may offer encouragement to non-Jews during the seventh [year] but not to Jews, and one may inquire into their well-being [in keeping with] the ways of peace.

There are three lands with respect to the seventh [year]: All that those ascending from Babylon took hold of, from the Land of Israel up to Keziv, may not be eaten and may not be worked; and all that those ascending from Egypt took hold of, from Keziv to the river and until Amanah, may be eaten but may not be worked; from the river and Amanah inwards may be eaten and worked.

One may work with detached [produce] in Surya, but not with attached [produce]. One may thresh, winnow, tread, and heap, but one may not harvest, pick grapes, or pick olives. A rule was formulated by R’ Akiva: Whatever kind of activity is permitted in the Land of Israel may be done in Surya.

Onions which were rained upon and sprouted — if their leaves were dark, [they are] forbidden; [if] they become pale, they are permitted. R’ Chanina ben Antigonos says: If they can be plucked by their leaves, they are forbidden. Conversely, [in] the year following the seventh they are permitted.

From when is it permitted for a person to buy vegetables in the year following the seventh? From when comparable ones have been produced. [If] the early ripeners produced, the late ripeners are permitted. Rabbi permitted buying vegetables immediately following the seventh [year].

One may not take out oil which must be burnt or produce of the seventh [year] from the Land to outside the Land. R’ Shimon said: I have heard explicitly that one may take [seventh-year produce] out to Surya, but one may not take [it] outside the Land.

One may not bring terumah from outside the Land into the Land. R’ Shimon said: I have heard explicitly that one may b ring [it] from Surya, but one may not bring [it] from outside the Land.

A major rule was stated concerning the seventh [year]: Whatever is a human food, or an animal food, or a dyestuff, and does not endure in the ground — possesses seventh [-year sanctity], and money [exchanged] for it possesses seventh [-year sanctity]; it is subject to biur, and money [exchanged] for it is subject to biur. Which is [this]? The leaf of the wild luf, leaf of mint, endives, leeks, portulaca, and the milky blossom; animal food: thorns and thistles; dyestuff: aftergrowth of isatis, and safflower — these possess seventh [-year sanctity], and money [exchanged] for them possesses seventh [-year sanctity]; these are subject to biur, and money [exchanged] for them is subject to biur.

Another rule was stated: Whatever is not a human food, or an animal food, or a dyestuff, and [whatever] endures in the ground — possesses seventh [-year sanctity], and money [exchanged] for it possesses seventh [-year sanctity]; [but] it is not subject to biur, and money [exchanged] for it is not subject to biur. Which is this? The root of the wild luf, root of the mint, heliotropes, roots of the milky blossom, and the buchriah; and dyestuffs: madder and reseda luteola — these possess seventh [-year sanctity], and money [exchanged] for them possesses seventh [year sanctity]; [but] they are not subject to biur, nor is money [exchanged] for them to biur. R’ Meir says: Money [exchanged] for them must be used up by Rosh Hashanah. They said to him: They are not subject to biur, how much more so the money [exchanged] for them.

Rinds of pomegranate and its blossom, husks of nuts, and pits possess seventh [-year sanctity], and money [exchanged] for them possesses seventh [-year sanctity]. The dyer may dye for himself, but he may not dye for payment, because one may not do business with seventh [-year] produce, nor with first-born animals, nor with terumah, nor with unslaughtered carcasses, nor with tereifos, nor with abominations, nor with creeping things. A person should not take field vegetables and sell them in the market, but he may pick and his son may sell in his place. [If] he took for himself and left over, he is permitted to sell them.
