But the rest of the things that are mentioned in our Mishnah (i.e., pressed figs, dates, carobs and cumin) there are those from them in the Land of Israel that are similar to those that are outside of the Land [of Israel], but those are that are important that it is custom to carry them because of their importance to places that don’t have a similar kind, required tithing, for it is known that they are from the Land of Israel.

להיות נאמן – on the tithes and that his produce will not be doubtfully tithed from here and onwards.

ואת שהוא מוכר – from the produce of his lands.

And there is no acceptance of the words of the members of the order for the observance of Levitical laws in daily intercourse with less than three members, unless the member is a Sage/ תלמיד חכם that does not need to be before three members.

אצלו בכסותו – that the clothing of a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes/עם הארץ, his ritual defilement is more severe than the ritual defilement of person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes himself for we suspect that perhaps his wife sat on them while she was a menstruant woman and the clothing of a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes is Levitical uncleanness arising from someone with gonorrhea’s immediate contact by treading or leading against to the Pharisees. Alternatively, for this reason they said that he cannot host him (i.e., a person who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes) other than with his clothing for from the contact itself, he can be more careful from contact with his clothing.

And especially when one sells it to a person who observes certain religious customs regarding tithes, for the person who acquires it separates out the Second Tithe, but if he sells it to someone who does not observe certain religious customs regarding tithes, he is liable to separate out the Second Tithe before he sells it.

החנונים – [the storekeepers] who sell a little bit at a time in the store, are not permitted to sell that which is doubtfully tithed, for since they profit a great deal on them, it is upon them to make things legally fit for use by giving the priestly dues.
