According to Halachah 1, which three conditions must produce meet to require terumah separation?
Halachah 1 derives from Deuteronomy 18:4 that the obligation applies to food for humans, guarded (owned), and grown from the earth — grain, wine, and oil serve as the model but all analogous produce is included.
Question 2
If hyssop is sown as animal fodder and the owner later decides to use it for human consumption while it is still in the ground, what is the halachah?
Halachah 2 establishes that intent at the time of growth does not change the status set at planting — if sown for animal fodder, a later change of mind while connected to the ground has no effect.
Question 3
Why are vegetables exempt from terumah by Scriptural law, even though they are food for humans grown from the earth?
Halachah 6 explains that 'tevuah' in Deuteronomy 14:22 means grain and similar produce, and terumah is modeled on grain, wine, and oil — vegetables do not resemble these, so their terumah is only a Rabbinic decree.
Question 4
When leket (gleanings) collected by a poor person is brought into a granary in the field, what obligation applies?
Halachah 9 rules that leket in a granary in the field creates a Rabbinic obligation — to prevent observers from suspecting that the field's owner completed the harvest without fulfilling his obligations.
Question 5
What must be done with impure terumah that was separated from produce?
Halachah 14 rules that even impure terumah must be separated and given to a priest — based on Numbers 18:8's plural form implying both pure and impure terumah. It cannot be eaten but the priest may benefit from it by burning it as fuel.
