GEMARA Who is it that teaches that the main feature about the tree is the earth? Rab Nahman b. Isaac said: It is R. Judah ; for there is a Mishnaic teaching: If the water-supply dried up or the tree was cut down, one brings [the first-fruits to Jerusalem] but does not make the declaration. R. Judah says: He both brings [the first-fruits] and makes the declaration.
