Talmud for Bikkurim 1:1

משנה יש מביאין בכורין וקורין. מביאין ולא קורין. ויש שאינן מביאין. אלו שאינן מביאין הנוטע בתוך שלו והבריכו בתוך של יחיד או בתוך של רבים. וכן המבריך מתוך של יחיד או מתוך הרבים לתוך שלו. הנוטע בתוך שלו והמבריך בתו שלו ודרך היחיד ודרך הרבים באמצע הרי זה אינו מביא. רבי יהודה אומר מביא. מאיזה טעם אינו מביא משום שנאמר (שמות כג) ראשית בכורי אדמתך תביא עד שיהו כל הגידולים מאדמתך:

From when may one recite Shema in the evening? From the time the Kohanim go in to eat their Terumah (produce consecrated for priestly consumption). Until the end of the first watch, says Rabbi Eliezer. And the Sages say: Until [astronomical] midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until the break of dawn. It once happened that his [Rabban Gamliel’s] sons came from a house of feasting. They said to him: We have not recited Shema. He to them: If dawn has not broken, you are obligated to recite it. And it is not only in this case that they said it! Rather, in all cases where the Sages said "only until midnight," the obligation remains until the break of dawn. [e.g.] Burning the fats and limbs [of the sacrifices, on the Temple altar] — the obligation is until the break of dawn. [e.g.:] All [sacrifices] which may be eaten for one day — the obligation is until the break of dawn. If that is so, why did the Sages say, "until midnight?" To distance a person from transgression.

Jerusalem Talmud Bikkurim

MISHNAH: Rebbi Simeon ben Nanas88A third generation Tanna, usually disagreeing with either R. Aqiba or R. Ismael. says, one adorns First Fruits [with anything] except from the Seven Kinds89Cf. Mishnah 1:3.. Rebbi Aqiba says, one adorns First Fruits only with the Seven Kinds.
Rebbi Simeon says, there are three components of First Fruits90Since First Fruits are few, one fills the baskets with additional fruits. For R. Aqiba and R. Simeon, the additions may be of the same or of different kinds, following different rules. The “additions to First Fruits” of R. Simeon and R. Aqiba are the “adornments of First Fruits” of R. Simeon ben Nanas. The latter forbids R. Aqiba’s “adornments of First Fruits”.. First Fruits, additions to First Fruits, and adornments of First Fruits. Additions to First Fruits are of the same kind, adornments of First Fruits are not of the same kind. Additions to First Fruits are eaten in purity and exempt from the rules of demay91They follow all rules of heave like First Fruits proper. Practically, additions to First Fruits are indistinguishable from First Fruits., adornments of First Fruits are subject to the rules of demay.
