חלה ד׳:י״א - ערלה א׳:א׳

העלה בכורות מבבל ולא קבלו ממנו – as it is written (Deuteronomy 14:23): “You shall consume the tithes of your new grain and wine and oil, and the firstlings of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God….”From the place that you bring the tithes of your new grain, you bring firstlings. From outside the Land of Israel where you do not bring the tithe of new grain, you do not bring firstlings.

הביא בכורי יין ושמן ולא קבלו ממני – because the did not cut them from the beginning of this, for had he cut them from the beginning of this, they would have been permitted, and such is taught in the Mishnah in the last chapter of Terumot (Chapter 11, Mishnah 3): “They do not bring first fruits in the form of liquid except for that which is produced from olives and grapes.”

פסח קטן – The Second Passover (see Numbers, Chapter 9, verses 1-15), and his children were small (i.e., minors) and only on the First Passover are they obligated (i.e. 14 Nisan) , for everyone is obligated in appearing [before God], as it is written (Exodus 23:17): “[Three times a year] all your males shall appear [before the Sovereign, the LORD],” but not on the Second Passover.

מאפמיא – we read it such, and it is the name of a place in Syria.

כקונה בפרוורי ירושלים – the fields of Jerusalem and the villages surrounding it. It is the translation of the open space outside of a place called Parva (name of a Persian building and magian – from whom a compartment in the Temple was supposed to have been named – see Mishnah Middot, Chapter 5, Mishnah 3).

נוטע לסייג – that the tree will be a fence for a vineyard.

לקורות – to grow trees to make of them beams for building, but the essences of its planting is not to eat its fruit.

פטור מן הערלה – as it is written (Leviticus 19:23): “[When you enter the land] and plant any tree for food, [you shall regard its fruit as forbidden].” That which is for food is liable [for Orlah]; for a fence and for beams and for wood it is exempt.

הפנימי למאכל – if he intended that the inner young shoot (especially of a fig-tree) [facing towards the field] will be for food and the outer young shoot [facing away from the field] will be for a fence, even though that everything is [from] one tree, the outer [young shoot] is exempt [from the laws of Orlah]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yosi.
