Mishnah 1א׳

מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי, אֵין מוֹכְרִין אוֹתוֹ, וְאֵין מְמַשְׁכְּנִין אוֹתוֹ, וְאֵין מַחֲלִיפִין אוֹתוֹ, וְלֹא שׁוֹקְלִין כְּנֶּגְדּוֹ. וְלֹא יֹאמַר אָדָם לַחֲבֵרוֹ בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם, הֵילָךְ יַיִן וְתֶן לִי שָׁמֶן. וְכֵן שְׁאָר כָּל הַפֵּרוֹת. אֲבָל נוֹתְנִין זֶה לָזֶה מַתְּנַת חִנָּם:

Ma'aser Sheni [second tithe, which must be eaten in Jerusalem]: may not be sold, and may not be pawned, and may not be exchanged, and may not be weighed against. A man should not say to his friend in Jerusalem, "Here is wine, and give me oil." This goes for all other fruit as well. But one can give it to another as a free gift.

Mishnah 2ב׳

מַעְשַׂר בְּהֵמָה, אֵין מוֹכְרִין אוֹתוֹ תָּמִים חַי, וְלֹא בַעַל מוּם חַי וְשָׁחוּט, וְאֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין בּוֹ הָאִשָּׁה. הַבְּכוֹר מוֹכְרִין אוֹתוֹ תָּמִים חַי, וּבַעַל מוּם חַי וְשָׁחוּט, וּמְקַדְּשִׁין בּוֹ הָאִשָּׁה. אֵין מְחַלְּלִין מַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי עַל אֲסִימוֹן, וְלֹא עַל הַמַּטְבֵּעַ שֶׁאֵינוֹ יוֹצֵא, וְלֹא עַל הַמָּעוֹת שֶׁאֵינָן בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ:

The animal tithe: may not be sold while unblemished and alive, nor while blemished and alive or slaughtered, and may not be used to betroth a woman. A firstborn animal: may be sold while unblemished and alive, and while blemished and alive or slaughtered, and may be used to betroth a woman. One may not redeem Ma'aser Sheni [by exchanging its value] with an blank coin, nor with a coin that is not legal tender, nor with money that is not in his possession.
