Peah 12

Chapter 12

א רִאשׁוֹנָה מַהוּ. מִן מַה דְּתַנִּי הֲרֵי זוּ פֵּיאָה וְצָרִיךְ לִיתֵּן בְּסוֹף כְּשֵׁיעוּר הָדָה אָמְרָה קִידְּשָׁה מִשּׁוּם פֵּיאָה. מַהוּ כְּשֵׁיעוּר כָּל שָׂדֵהוּ אוֹ כְשֵׁיעוּר הַמִּשְׁתַּיֵיר. אֵיפְשַׁר לוֹמַר קִידְּשָׁה מִשּׁוּם פֵּיאָה וְתֵימַר כְּשֵׁיעוּר כָּל שָׂדֵהוּ אֶלָּא כְשֵׁיעוּר הַמִּשְׁתַּיֵיר.
1 What is the standing of the first batch? Since we have stated (<i>Tosephta</i> 1:5): “It is <i>peah</i> and he has to give the measure at the end.” That means it becomes holy as <i>peah</i>. What means “the measure?” The measure of the entire field or the measure of the remainder? Is it possible to say, this lot becomes holy as <i>peah</i> and say, according to the measure of the entire field? Certainly the remaining measure!
ב רִבִּי חִיָיא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בִּמְחוּבָּר. רִבִּי יַסָּא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בְּתָלוּשׁ. מַה מִתְכַּוֵּין לִפְטוֹר אֶת שָׂדֵהוּ אוֹ לֹא. נִשְׁמְעִינָהּ מִן הָדָא. דְּאָמַר רִבִּי יַסָּא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן לְעוֹלָם הוּא מוֹסִיף וְהוֹלֵךְ. מַה נָן קַיָימִין. אִם בְּמִתְכַּוֵּין לִפְטוֹר אֶת שָׂדֵהוּ כְּבָר נִפְטְרָה. אֶלָּא כִּי נָן קַיָימִין בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִתְכַּוֵּין לִפְטוֹר אֶת שָׂדֵהוּ.
2 Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: when it is still standing. Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: when it is cut. What is his intention, to free his field from the obligation or not? Let us hear from the following: Rebbi Yasa said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: He may always add. What are we talking about? If it is his intention to free his field from the obligation, it already has been freed. So we must speak about the case where it is not his intention to free his field from the obligation!
