Separating Challah

The commandment of the separation of challah is fulfilled. He separated a portion of the dough of the bread made from a fifth of the grain in order to give it to the priest (the separation means the separation or the ration. The source of the commandment is in the verse in Numbers 19: "And it shall be when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall raise an offering to the Lord. At the head of your mats, you shall raise a heave offering of challah").

("And the blessing of the woman whom we have sanctified with its commandments and commanded to separate the challah. And the challah of the Passover shall be separated from the tenth part of a shekel and from the fourth part of a shekel" - Pesikta Zotrata (Taking a Good Thing) in the desert of Parashat Shelah Lekhi 2b)
