## Sifrei Devarim Paragraph 230

###### Sifrei Devarim 230:1
[Sifrei Devarim 230:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:1)

(דברים כב ט) **לֹא תִזְרַע כַּרְמְךָ כִּלְאָיִם**, מָה אֲנִי צָרִיךְ? וַהֲלֹא כְּבָר נֶאֱמַר (ויקרא יט יט) ״שָׂדְךָ לֹא תִזְרַע כִּלְאָיִם״! מְלַמֵּד שֶׁכָּל הַמְקַיֵּם כִּלְאַיִם בַּכֶּרֶם עוֹבֵר בִּשְׁנֵי לָאוִים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 22:9) "You shall not sow your vineyard with mixed seed": [I might think that he may not sow one (variety) by itself and another by itself; it is, therefore, written "*kilayim*" (mixed seed), but each by itself is permitted. Variantly:] "*kilayim*": Why is this needed? Is it not already written (Vayikra 19:19) "You shall not sow your field *kilayim*"? To impose liability for both "vineyard" and "field." We are hereby taught that one who sows *kilayim* in a vineyard transgresses two negative commandments.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:2
[Sifrei Devarim 230:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:2)

אֵין לִי אֶלָּא כֶּרֶם שָׁלֵם. מִנַּיִן אֲפִלּוּ גֶּפֶן יְחִידִי וְעוֹשֶׂה פֵּרוֹת? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר **כֶּרֶם**, מִכָּל מָקוֹם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
This tells me only of a full-grown vineyard. Whence do I derive (the same for) one with a few fruitful vines? From ("the produce of) the vineyard" — any vineyard. If one trains a grapevine onto seeds, even for (a distance of) one hundred ells, the grapevine is forbidden. This (verse) tells me (that it is forbidden) only in a fruitful vineyard. Whence do I derive (the same for) one that is not fruitful? From "the vineyard" — in any event. This tells me only of *your* vineyard. Whence do I derive (the same for) the vineyard of others? According to R. Yossi, from "the vineyard" — in any event. "*lest tikdash* the fullness of the seed": lest there be forbidden.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:3
[Sifrei Devarim 230:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:3)

מִנַּיִן לְכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם שֶׁאֲסוּרִים בַּהֲנָיָה? נֶאֱמַר כָּאן **תִּקְדַּשׁ**, וְנֶאֱמַר לְהַלָּן (ויקרא ה טו) ״קֹדֶשׁ״ – מָה קֹדֶשׁ הָאָמוּר לְהַלָּן אָסוּר בַּהֲנָיָה, אַף קֹדֶשׁ הָאָמוּר כָּאן אָסוּר בַּהֲנָיָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And whence is it derived that it is forbidden to benefit from vineyard *kilayim*? It is written here "*kodesh*" (i.e., "*tikdash*"), and elsewhere, "*kodesh*," (Vayikra 5:15 "and he sin unwittingly [by deriving benefit] from the holy tings ["*kodshei*"] of the L-rd.") Just as there, derivation of benefit is being forbidden, here, too, derivation of benefit is being forbidden.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:4
[Sifrei Devarim 230:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:4)

**פֶּן תִּקְדַּשׁ הַמְלֵאָה הַזֶּרַע**, מֵאֵימָתַי הַמְלֵאָה הַזֶּרַע מִתְקַדֶּשֶׁת? – מִשֶּׁתַּשְׁרִישׁ, וַעֲנָבִים? – מִשֶּׁיַּעֲשׂוּ כְּפוֹל לָבָן.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"lest there be rejected the fullness of the seed … and the produce of the vineyard." When is the produce rejected? When it takes root. And grapes? When they become like the 'white (egyptian) bean'. "which you shall sow": This tells me only of what he himself sows. Whence do I derive (as likewise interdicted) what his neighbor sows (in the former's field) and which he would like to sustain? From "the seed" — in any event.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:5
[Sifrei Devarim 230:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:5)

**הַזֶּרַע** – פְּרָט לְזֶרַע שֶׁיָּצָא עִם הַזְּבָלִים אוֹ עִם הַמַּיִם, הַזּוֹרֵעַ וְהָרוּחַ מְסַעַרְתּוֹ. יָכוֹל שֶׁאֲנִי מוֹצִיא הַזּוֹרֵעַ וְהָרוּחַ מְסַיַּעְתּוֹ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **אֲשֶׁר תִּזְרָע**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"which you shall sow": to exclude seed which entered (unintentionally) along with fertilizer or with water, or seed which he sowed and which was blown in by the wind. I might think that also excluded is seed blown in by the *help* of the wind, (the sower intending this to happen); it is, therefore, written "the seed," (in which the aforementioned instance is subsumed).


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:6
[Sifrei Devarim 230:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:6)

הַמְקַיֵּם קוֹצִים בַּכֶּרֶם, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: קָדַשׁ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר **אֲשֶׁר תִּזְרָע**, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: **זֶרַע** פְּרָט לַמְקַיֵּם קוֹצִים בַּכֶּרֶם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
If one sustains thorns in a vineyard, R. Eliezer says he is in transgression of *kilayim*, it being written "which you sow." The sages say: "the seed" excludes the sustaining of thorns in a vineyard.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:7
[Sifrei Devarim 230:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:7)

**וּתְבוּאַת הַכָּרֶם**, מֵאֵימָתַי הַתְּבוּאָה מִתְקַדֶּשֶׁת? מִשֶּׁתַּשְׁרִישׁ, וַעֲנָבִים מִשֶּׁיַּעֲלוּ כְּפוֹל לָבָן.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"and produce of the vineyard": When is the produce rejected? When it takes root. And grapes? When they become like the 'white (egyptian) bean'.

[Sifrei Devarim 230:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:8)

אֵין לִי אֶלָּא כֶּרֶם שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה פֵּרוֹת, כֶּרֶם שֶׁאֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה פֵּרוֹת מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **כֶּרֶם**, מִכָּל מָקוֹם. אֵין לִי אֶלָּא כֶּרֶם שֶׁלְּךָ, כֶּרֶם שֶׁל אֲחֵרִים מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֹא תִזְרַע כַּרְמְךָ כִּלְאָיִם**, מִכָּל מָקוֹם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
This (verse) tells me (that it is forbidden) only in a fruitful vineyard. Whence do I derive (the same for) one that is not fruitful? From "the vineyard" — in any event. This tells me only of *your* vineyard. Whence do I derive (the same for) the vineyard of others? According to R. Yossi, from "the vineyard" — in any event.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:9
[Sifrei Devarim 230:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:9)

הַמּוֹתֵחַ זְמוֹרָה שֶׁל גֶּפֶן עַל גַּבֵּי זְרָעִים, אֲפִלּוּ מֵאָה אַמָּה – הַגֶּפֶן אֲסוּרָה וּפֵירוֹתֶיהָ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
If one trains a grapevine onto seeds, even for (a distance of) one one square ell, the grapevine is forbidden.


###### Sifrei Devarim 230:10
[Sifrei Devarim 230:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/230:10)

[(דברים כב י) **לֹא תַחֲרֹשׁ בְּשׁוֹר וַחֲמֹר** –] יָכוֹל לֹא יַחֲרֹשׁ עַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, וְעַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **יַחְדָּו**. אֲבָל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ וְזֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ – מֻתָּר.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
I might think that he may not sow one (variety) by itself and another by itself; it is, therefore, written "*together*", but each by itself is permitted.

דָּבָר אַחֵר: ״פֶּן תִּקְדַּשׁ הַמְלֵאָה״ – פֶּן תֵּאָסֵר הַמְלֵאָה, כְּדִבְרֵי רַבִּי יֹאשִׁיָּה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Variantly: "*lest tikdash* the fullness of the seed": lest there be forbidden, as R' Yehuda has said.

**אֲשֶׁר תִּזְרַע**, אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שֶׁזָּרַע הוּא. זָרַע חֲבֵירוֹ וְרָצָה לְקַיְּמוֹ מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **תִּזְרַע**, מִכָּל מָקוֹם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"which you shall sow": This tells me only of what he himself sows. Whence do I derive what his neighbor sows (in the former's field) and which he would like to sustain? From "which you shall sow" — in any event.
