Mishnah for Ma'aser Sheni 2:1

את דמיהן תאמר במעשר שני שהוא תופס את דמיו. שביעית תוכיח שהיא תופסת את דמיה ומותר למוכרה. אמר רבי יודן מזו מכירתה של שביעית היא חילולה. אמר רבי ירמיה מאן תנא אין מוכרין אותו רבי מאיר ברם כרבי יודן בדין הוא שיהא מותר למוכרו מקל וחומר מה אם שביעית שאין פורעין חוב מדמיה מותר למוכרה מעשר שני שפורעין חוב מדמיו אינו דין שיהא מותר למוכרו. הא אשכחנן שפורעין חוב מדמיו כיי דתנינן תמן משך הימנו מעשר בסלע ולא הספיק לפדותו עד שעמד בשתים. אמר רבי יוסי שנייא היא שמשעה ראשונה מעשר שני חייב אילו חייב היה לו ונתן לו מעשר יאות. אמר רבי יודן מתני' אמרה כן שהוא אסור למוכרו דתנינן תמן מזיד קידש שוגג לא קידש. אם את אומר יהא מותר למוכרו יהא מותר לקדש בו. וכל שהוא אסור למוכרו אסור לקדש בו והתנינן אין לוקחין עבדים וקרקעות ובהמה טמאה מדמי שביעית ואם לקח יאכל כנגדן. א"ר יוסי זאת אומרת שאסור ליקח אשה מדמי שביעית דלכן מה בין קונה אשה מה בין קונה שפחה. רבי יוסי בשם רבי זעירא רבי יודן בשם רבי יילא דברי הכל היא מפני פילפולו. רבי יוסי בשם רבי אחא דברי הכל היא כדי שיהו הכל זקוקים למחיצתן. כיצד אין ממשכנין אותו הנכנס לתוך ביתו של חבירו למשכנו אל ימשכן מעשר שני שלו. תני ולא מרהינין אותו ולא יתננו לחנווני שיאכל עליו.

Come and see, [let us test this hypothesis by implication from our mishnah]: "...from the time that the Kohanim go in to eat their terumah." It is [still close to] daytime. It is as soon as the stars come out!? [and the Tosefta says:] "...from the time when people usually go in to eat their bread on the eve of the Sabbath." That is an hour or two after nightfall! [These are obviously two very different times.] And yet you say: "These opinions are close enough to be equal!?" --Rabbi Yose said: "Let the problem be resolved [by claiming that the Tosefta refers only] to those small villages whose way is to go on up [home] while it is still day, to spare themselves from the animals." It teaches in a Baraita: "The one who recites [the Shema] before this has not fulfilled their obligation. If so, why do we recite it [before nightfall] in the synagogue? Rabbi Yose said: 'We do not recite it in the synagogue to fulfill its obligation. Rather, [we recite it] so that we may stand up in prayer after a word of Torah." Rabbi Zeira in the name of Rav Yirmiyah: "If there is doubt whether he made the blessings after his food or not, he should make the blessings [even though he may be doing it a second time]. For it is written (Deut. 8:10) 'And you shall eat, and you shall be satisfied, then you shall bless [the LORD your God...]' If there is doubt whether he prayed or not, he should not pray [as he may have already done so.]" But he disagrees with Rabbi Yohanan. For Rabbi Yohanan said: "If only a person could pray the entire day!" Why? For prayer is never a waste. If there is doubt whether he recited [Shema] or not, we may gather from this baraita: "The one who recites [the Shema] before this has not fulfilled their obligation." And is not before [nightfall] a time of doubt? And yet you say "he should recite [Shema]." This implies that if there is doubt whether he recited [Shema] or not, he should recite [Shema]. [From Tosefta 1:1] "The indicator of this is when the stars come out. And though there is no proof of it [from Scripture], there is a trace of it: (Neh. 4:21) '...we were doing the labor, and half of them were holding the spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.' And he writes: '...it is guard-time for us by night and labor by day." How many stars should come out so that it becomes night? Rabbi Pinhas in the name of Rabbi Abba bar Papa: "One star, surely day. Two, doubt. Three, surely night." "...two doubt," [really]? But is it not written, "...until the stars came out!?" Rather, [the plural] "stars" indicates two! [Not three!]--The first one doesn't count. [An unattributed baraita:] "If he sees one star on the eve of the Sabbath and performs a creative task, he is exempt [from punishment]. Two, he brings a conditional guilt offering, Three, he brings a sin offering. On the departure of the Sabbath, if he sees on star and performs a creative task,

Mishnah Eduyot

One who exchanges a sela from second tithe in Jerusalem: Beth Shammai says: “Copper coin for the whole sela.” And Beth Hillel says: “Silver for one shekel and copper coin for one shekel.” The disputants before the Sages say: “Silver for three denars and copper coin for one denar.” Rabbi Akiva says: “Silver for three denars and for the fourth silver, copper coin.” Rabbi Tarfon says: “Four aspers in silver.” Shammai says: “He must leave it in the shop and eat on the credit thereof.”

Mishnah Maaser Sheni

Rabbi Shimon says: one may not anoint oneself with oil of second tithe in Jerusalem. But the sages allow it. They said to Rabbi Shimon: if a lenient ruling has been adopted in the case of terumah which is a grave matter, should we not also adopt a lenient ruling in the case of second tithe which is a light matter? He said to them: No; a lenient ruling has been adopted in the case of terumah though it is a grave matter, because in terumah we have adopted a lenient ruling also with regard to vetches and fenugreek, but how can we adopt a lenient ruling in the case of second tithe though it is a light matter, when we have not adopted a lenient ruling in second tithe with regard to vetches and fenugreek?

Mishnah Maaser Sheni

Fenugreek of second tithe may be eaten when it is still tender. Fenugreek of terumah: Bet Shammai says: whatever is done with it must be done in a state of purity, except when it is used for cleansing the head. But Bet Hillel says: whatever is done with it may be done in a state of impurity, except soaking it in water.
