Finally, the owner of the produce was not required to bring ma'sar ani to the Temple; but, rather to the poor, no matter where there were. Likewise, this confused story does not clearly demonstrate how ma'aser sheni developed into a system where the owner separated the tithe for himself and had nothing to do with kings or priests.
In conclusion, the owner of the produce was exempt from bringing ma'sar ani to the Temple; rather, they were instructed to give it to the poor. Similarly, this ambiguous narrative does not clearly explain how ma'aser sheni evolved into a system where the owner set aside their tithe and had no connection with kings or priests.
