לֹֽא־תוּכַ֞ל לֶאֱכֹ֣ל בִּשְׁעָרֶ֗יךָ מַעְשַׂ֤ר דְּגָֽנְךָ֙ וְתִֽירֹשְׁךָ֣ וְיִצְהָרֶ֔ךָ וּבְכֹרֹ֥ת בְּקָרְךָ֖ וְצֹאנֶ֑ךָ וְכָל־נְדָרֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּדֹּ֔ר וְנִדְבֹתֶ֖יךָ וּתְרוּמַ֥ת יָדֶֽךָ׃

You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or of your wine or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, or any of your vows that you vow, or your freewill-offerings, or the contribution of your hand.

Core Text
דְּגָנְךָ וְתִירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ – אָמַר רַבִּי אִילָא, אָכַל מַעְשַׂר דָּגָן תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר חוּץ לְחוֹמַת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם לוֹקֶה שָׁלֹשׁ, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין לוֹקִין עַל לָאו שֶׁבִּכְלָלוֹת, שָׁאנֵי הָכָא דְּמַיַּתְּרֵי קְרָאֵי.

English: “Your grain and your wine and your oil” — R’ Ila said: One who eats the tithe of grain, wine, and oil outside the wall of Jerusalem incurs three sets of lashes. And even though one does not incur lashes for a general prohibition, here it is different because the verses are superfluous.

On the daf / in context: The separate listing of the three products creates independent liability for each.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Sifrei / Bavli) — multiple liabilities for eating the three tithes outside.

What Is Learned

Eating the tithe of grain, of wine, and of oil outside Jerusalem generates three separate sets of lashes.
