Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Berakhot/Chapter 7/1/Translation

If three people eat together they are obligated to say zimun*.

If he ate from food which has not been tithed,

Or from the first tithe that had Terumah* separated,

Or the second tithe which had been sanctified and redeemed,

Or a servant that had eaten an olive's volume*, or a Cusi*,

He must say zimun with them.

(But) if he ate untithed produce,

Or the first tithe that had not had Terumah separated,

Or the second tithe which had been sanctified and not redeemed,

Or a servant that ate less than an olive's volume*, or an idol worshipper,

One cannot say zimun with them.
