cond tithes and holy
things after their redemption. And the priests discharge their obligation
with cakes of dough-offering and heave-offering, but not with that which
owes first tithes, or before the heave-offering was separated from it, nor
with that which owes second tithes or holy things before their redemption.
"The loaves of the praise-offering and the cakes of the Nazarite?" "If
made for themselves, they do not discharge the obligation: if made for
sale in the market, they discharge the obligation."

6. And these are the herbs with which one discharges his obligation to eat
bitter herbs in the passover: lettuce, endives, horse-radish, liquorice,
and coriander. The obligation can be discharged whether they be moist or
dry, but not if they be pickled, or much boiled, or even a little boiled.
And they may be united to form the size of an olive. And the obligation
may be discharged with their roots; and also if their tithes be in doubt;
and with their first tithing, when the heave-offering has been taken from
them; and with their second tithe, and with holy things which are
redeemed.

7. Persons must not moisten bran during the passover for chickens, but
they may scald it. A woman must not moisten bran in her hand when she goes
to the bath. But she may rub it dry on her flesh. A man should not chew
wheat and leave it on a wound during Passover, because it becomes
leavened.

8. People must not put flour into the charoseth(131) or into the mustard.
"But if one puts it?" "He must eat it off-hand." But Rabbi Meier forbids
it. They must not boil the passover offering in liquids nor in fruit
juice. But one may smear it (after it is roasted), or dip it into them.
Water used by the baker must be poured away because it becomes leavened.

Chapter III

1. These cause transgression during passover: the Babylonian cuthack,(132)
and the Median beer, and the Edomite vinegar, and the Egyptian
zithum,(133) and the purifying dough of the dyer,(134) and the clarifying
grain of the cooks, and the paste of the bookbinders. Rabbi Eleazar said,
"even the cosmetics of women." This is the rule. All kinds of grain
whatever may cause transgression during the passover. These are negative
commands, and they are not visited by cutting off.

2. "Dough in a split of a kneading trough?" "If there be the size of an
olive in a single place one is bound to clear it out." Less than this is
worthless from its minuteness. And so is it with the
