This volume concludes the edition, translation, and commentary of
the first order of the "Jerusalem Talmud". It contains four small
but important tractates. The first, Ma'aser Seni, deals with Second
Tithe (Deut. 14:22-27) and the fourth-year fruit of a newly planted
tree (Lev. 19:24). This is sanctified food, to be consumed by the
laity at the holy precinct, for which redemption is expressly
authorized. The tractate deals in large part with the problems of
redemption of dedicated food. In addition, there is a long section
on the interpretation of dreams, and a detailed description of the
ceremony of presentation of the tithe in the Temple. The second
tractate, Hallah, details the application of the general rules of
heave to the Cohen's part of any bread dough. The third tractate,
'Orlah, the fruit of a newly planted tree during the first three
years (Lev. 19:23), treats this as paradigm for all food whose
usufruct is forbidden, and most of the tractate discusses the
problems that may arise if any such food is not immediately
disposed of. The last tractate, Bikkurim, describes the rules for
selection and presentation of First Fruits in the Temple on or
after Pentecost. The rite is given in detail, with an excursus on
the honor due elders. A first appendix shows the position of the
Tosephta as intermediary between Yerushalmi and Babli tradition,
with a distinct slant towards Babylonian positions. A second
appendix tries to identify the main authors of the tractates of
this first order.
