Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
לֹא עָבַרְתִּי מִמִּצְוֺתֶיךָ – לֹא הִפְרַשְׁתִּי מִמִּין עַל שֶׁאֵינוֹ מִינוֹ. וְלֹא שָׁכָחְתִּי – מִלְּבָרֶכְךָ עַל הַמַּעֲשֵׂר.

English: “I have not transgressed Your commandments” — I did not separate from one species upon another. “And I have not forgotten” — to bless You over the maaser.

In context: Each clause of the negative confession is given a concrete halachic meaning: species integrity and the berachah over the tithe.

Type of Learning

Custom (phrase-by-phrase expansion of the confession).

What Is Learned

The confession denies both improper separation across species and omission of the blessing.
