Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Pesachim 36b
בכל מושבותיכם. מצה הנאכלת בכל מושבות, יצאו ביכורים שאינן נאכלין בכל מושבות אלא בירושלים. יכול שאני מוציא אף מעשר שני? תלמוד לומר מצות מצות ריבה.

English: “In all your settlements”: matzah that can be eaten throughout the settlements qualifies; first fruits, which are restricted to Jerusalem, do not. The repeated term “matzah” adds second tithe.

On the daf / in context: See the cited source for the full section.

Type of Learning

Derash on the geographic qualification expressed by “in all your settlements.”

What Is Learned

The phrase establishes a criterion of broad permitted consumption and distinguishes first fruits from second tithe.
