In Yirmiyahu 2:3 there is a Mahari Kra that attempts to explain what the words "Reshit Tebu'ato" ("רֵאשִׁית תְּבוּאָתֹה") are regarding. One of the things he mentions were the three terumot. What are these terumot?

Hey Neil, welcome to Mi Yodeya! This is an interesting question.... this answer might help you, although AFAICT it only has two terumot -- terumah gedolah and terumat maaser; though there is still the possibility that one of the other things mentioned there is called "terumah" in a different context. I hope to see you around! – MTL Dec 04 '14 at 05:34

I don't know about 3, but the "5 Terumot" so-to-speak are found in Bava Metzia 4:8 – Double AA Dec 04 '14 at 07:35

The Mahari Kara also says all three t'rumos are called "reshis". I think they're probably
- t'ruma g'dola (called "reshis" in Bamidbar 18:12 and D'varim 18:4),
- t'rumas maaser (never explicitly called "reshis" that I know of, but it's called "t'ruma" in Bamidbar 18:26 and compared to t'ruma g'dola in Bamidbar 18:27), and
- chala (called "reshis" and "t'ruma" in Bamidbar 15:20).

@ShimonbM I know, but the Mahari Kara lists it separately from the three t'rumos. – msh210 Dec 04 '14 at 13:23

1@Shokhet - Short answer is yes: Devarim 12:17 mentions תרומת ידך, which is explained in Sifrei Devarim as a reference to Bikkurim (see Rashi, who quotes the midrash). See also Makkot 17a ("ותרומת ידך אלו בכורים") and the commentaries on Terumot 3:7, Maaser Sheni 5:6 and Bikkurim 2:1 (amongst other places). – Shimon bM Dec 04 '14 at 23:11
