English: “You shall take… and you shall bring” — one whose taking and bringing are the same; this excludes a messenger, whose taking and bringing are not the same. And if the messenger dies on the way, the owners bring [the fruit] but do not recite [the declaration].
On the daf: The juxtaposition of the two verbs requires identity of actor. Designation and delivery must be performed by the same person for the full ritual (including mikra bikkurim) to apply.
