Mishnah, Terumot, 4.9


כֵּיצַד, חֲמִשִּׁים תְּאֵנִים שְׁחוֹרוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים לְבָנוֹת, נָפְלָה שְׁחוֹרָה, שְׁחוֹרוֹת אֲסוּרוֹת וְהַלְּבָנוֹת מֻתָּרוֹת. נָפְלָה לְבָנָה, לְבָנוֹת אֲסוּרוֹת וּשְׁחוֹרוֹת מֻתָּרוֹת. בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ יָדוּעַ מַה נָּפְלָה, מַעֲלוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ. בְּזוֹ רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מַחְמִיר, וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מֵקֵל:How so? If there were fifty black figs and fifty white fig, and a black fig fell in, the black figs are forbidden, but the white figs are permitted; and if a white fig fell in them, the white figs are forbidden and the black figs are permitted. If it is known which kind fell in, then each kind helps to bring up the other. In this case, Rabbi Eliezer is stringent and Rabbi Joshua is lenient.
