(Mishnah - R. Yehudah): If there are many species in front of him, if one is from the seven species, he blesses on it;

Chachamim say, he blesses on whichever he wants.

(Gemara - R. Yehoshua ben Levi): In what case do R. Yudah and Rabanan argue? It is when he wants to eat bread [afterwards, so he does not say a Brachah Acharonah on them, for Birkas ha'Mazon exempts them], but if he does not want to eat bread, all agree that if one is from the seven species, he blesses on it [for he must say a Brachah Acharonah on it. At the time of the Mishnah, they said Brachah Acharonah only on the seven species. Below (Mishnah 8), R. Tarfon says to bless Borei Nefashos Rabos v'Chesronan on water, i.e. beforehand].

(R. Aba): He must bless afterwards (even if he will eat bread).

(R. Yosi): R. Aba's teaching argues with R. Yehoshua ben Levi's, for R. Yehoshua ben Levi said, when do R. Yudah and Rabanan argue? It is when he wants to eat bread, but if he does not want to eat bread, all agree that if one is from the seven species, he blesses on it. (According to R. Aba, there is no difference whether or not he will eat bread, for in any case he blesses afterwards.)

This Grizasah (a food made from lupines and other species) - R. Yirmeyah citing R. Ami says, he blesses on the lupines, and the rest is Tefel, for a Mishnah teaches 'whenever there is Ikar and Tefel with it, he blesses on the Ikar and exempts the Tefel. (We explained this like HAGAHOS HA'GRA.)

(R. Levi): This is based on "Al Tigzol Dal Ki Dal Hu." (We do not remove the Brachah from it, even though the other species are more important.)

Limitation: This is when he intends to eat bread. If he did not intend to eat bread, we did not discuss this. (Then he must say me'Ein Shalosh afterwards due to the grain in it, therefore he blesses Borei Minei Mezonos beforehand - SEFER NIR.)

R. Gamliel Zuga went to these people of Beis R. Yanai. They saw them take an olive and bless before and after [eating] it. He said to them, do we do so?!

R. Ze'ira sent to ask [the following to] R. Shmuel bar Nachman. R. Ze'ira asked, is it proper what we see that Rabanan go to [the meal of Kidush] Rosh Chodesh and eat grapes and do not bless afterwards?

Answer: That is not [difficult]. That is when he intends to eat afterwards (Birkas ha'Mazon exempts the grapes.)

(Rav Kahana citing R. Avina): All agree that if one is from the seven species, he blesses on it. (We explained this like HA'MASHBI'ACH.)

Question: If there were from the seven species in front of him, on which does he bless?

Answer: There (in Bavel) they say, whichever is earlier in the verse has precedence.
