מִגׇּרְנְךָ וּמִיִּקְבֶךָ – תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, מַה גֹּרֶן וְיֶקֶב מְיֻחָדִים שֶׁגְּדֵלִים עַל רֹב מַיִם וּמִתְעַשְּׂרִין לְשָׁנָה שֶׁעָבְרָה, יָצְאוּ יְרָקוֹת שֶׁגְּדֵלִין עַל כׇּל מַיִם מִתְעַשְּׂרִין לְשָׁנָה הַבָּאָה.

English: "From your threshing floor and from your winepress" — It was taught: Rabbi Akiva says: Just as the threshing floor and the winepress are distinctive in that they grow primarily on rain-water and are tithed for the preceding year, so vegetables, which grow on any water, are tithed for the coming year.

On the daf / in context: The comparison determines the tithing year of produce that is not grain or wine.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Rosh Hashanah) — the tithing year of vegetables.

What Is Learned

Vegetables are tithed according to the year in which they are picked, unlike grain and wine which follow the year of growth.
