תרומות

חֲמִשָּׁה לֹא יִתְרֹמוּ, וְאִם תָּרְמוּ, אֵין תְּרוּמָתָן תְּרוּמָה. הַחֵרֵשׁ, וְהַשּׁוֹטֶה, וְהַקָּטָן, וְהַתּוֹרֵם אֶת שֶׁאֵינוֹ שֶׁלּוֹ. נָכְרִי שֶׁתָּרַם אֶת שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֲפִלּוּ בִרְשׁוּת, אֵין תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה:

Five may not give terumah, and if they do so, their terumah is not considered terumah:A heresh (deaf-mute); an imbecile, a minor, And the one who gives terumah from that which is not his own. If a non-Jew gave terumah from that which belongs to an Israelite, even if it was with his permission, his terumah is not terumah.

חֵרֵשׁ הַמְדַבֵּר וְאֵינוֹ שׁוֹמֵעַ, לֹא יִתְרֹם. וְאִם תָּרַם, תְּרוּמָתוֹ תְרוּמָה. חֵרֵשׁ שֶׁדִּבְּרוּ בוֹ חֲכָמִים בְּכָל מָקוֹם, שֶׁאֵינוֹ לֹא שׁוֹמֵעַ וְלֹא מְדַבֵּר:

A “heresh”, who speaks but cannot hear, may not give terumah, but if he does so, his terumah is terumah. The “heresh” of whom the sages generally speak is one who neither hears nor speaks.
