Peah 40

Chapter 40

א וְאֵינוֹ מְחוּבָּר. אִין תֵּימַר מְחוּבָּר הוּא קוֹרֵא שֵׁם פֵּיאָה לְמַעְלָן. אִין תֵּימַר שֶׁאֵינוֹ מְחוּבָּר קוֹרֵא שֵׁם פֵּיאָה לְמַטָּן. אִין תֵּימַר קוֹרֵא שֵׁם פֵּאָה לְמַעְלָן הוֹצָאָה מִשֶּׁל עֲנִיִים אִין תֵּימַר קוֹרֵא שֵׁם פֵּאָה מִלְּמַטָּן הוֹצָאָה מִשֶּׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת. וַאֲפִילוּ תֵימַר קוֹרֵא שֵׁם פֵּיאָה לְמַעְלָן הִטְרִיחוּ עַל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת שֶׁתְּהֵא הוֹצָאָה שֶׁלּוֹ מִפְּנֵי הַסַּכָּנָה.
1 Is it not connected? He calls it by the name <i>peah</i> when it is on the tree. If you say not from standing produce, he calls it by the name <i>peah</i> when it is taken down. If you say he calls it by the name <i>peah</i> when it is on the tree, the removal is charged to the poor. If you say he calls it by the name <i>peah</i> when it is taken down, the removal is the obligation of the owner. But even if you say that he calls it by the name <i>peah</i> when it is on the tree, they charge the owner with taking it down because of the danger.
ב תַּנִּי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי [מֵאִיר] כָּל הָאִילָנוֹת סַכָּנָה. רִבִּי מֵאִיר לֹא דָרַשׁ קָצִיר וְרַבָּנָן דָּרְשֵׁי קָצִיר. כָּל עַמָּא דָּרְשֵׁי קָצִיר אֶלָּא רִבִּי מֵאִיר אָמַר כָּל אִילָנוֹת סַכָּנָה. וְרַבָּנָן אָמְרֵי אֵין סַכָּנָה אֶלָּא הַדָּלִית וְהַדֶּקֶל בִּלְבָד. רִבִּי חֲנַנְיָה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ מַעֲשֶׂה שֶׁמֵּתוּ חֲמִשָּׁה אַחִים בְּחֲמִשָּׁה חֲלִיקֵי אֱגוֹזִים.
2 It was stated in the name of Rebbi Meïr: All trees are dangerous. Does Rebbi Meïr not infer from “harvest” while the rabbis likewise infer from “harvest?” Everybody infers from “harvest”, except that Rebbi Meïr says that all trees are dangerous and the rabbis say only the climbing vine and the date palm are dangerous. Rebbi Ḥananiah in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: It has happened that five brothers died climbing five smooth nut trees.
ג בַּעַל הַבַּיִת שֶׁקָּרָא שֵׁם פֵּיאָה וְכִילָּה קוֹרֵא אֲנִי עָלָיו לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ בְּקֻצְרֶךָ. לֹא קָרָא שֵׁם פֵּיאָה וְכִילָּה קוֹרֵא אֲנִי עָלָיו לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ בְּקֻצְרֶךָ.
3 If the owner called it <i>peah</i> and nevertheless finished harvesting the entire field, I read for him: “Do not finish off the corner of your field during your harvest.” If he did not call it <i>peah</i> and finished harvesting the entire field, I read for him: “Do not finish off the corner of your field during your harvest.”

4 If they agreed among themselves, even so one does not listen to him.
ה בַּעַל הַבַּיִת יְחַלֵּק בְּיָדוֹ שֶׁלֹּא יִרְאֶה לְעָנִי מוֹדַעְתּוֹ וְיַשְׁלִיךְ לְפָנָיו. רִבִי שְמוּאֵל בַּר אֶבוּדַמָא בְּעִי כִּילָּה אֶת שָׂדֵהוּ אַתְּ אֲמַר חָזְרָה פֵּיאָה לָעוֹמָרִין. אֲפִילוּ כֵן בַּעַל הַבַּיִת מְחַלֵּק בְּיָדוֹ שֶׁלֹּא יִרְאֶה לְעָנִי מוֹדַעְתּוֹ וְיַשְׁלִיךְ לְפָנָיו.
5 The owner has to distribute by hand to avoid that he would see a poor person of his acquaintance and throw it before him. Rebbi Samuel bar Eudaimon questioned: If he finished harvesting his field, you say that <i>peah</i> returned to the sheaves. Even so, does the owner have to distribute by hand to avoid that he would see a poor person of his acquaintance and throw it before him?
ו <strong><big>משנה:</big></strong> נָטַל מִקְּצַת הַפֵּיאָה וְזָרַק עַל הַשְּׁאָר אֵין לוֹ בָּהּ כְּלוּם. נָפַל לוֹ עָלֶיהָ וּפִירֵס טַלִּיתוֹ עָלֶיהָ מַעֲבִירִין אוֹתוֹ מִמֶּנָּהּ וְכֵן בְּלֶקֶט וְכֵן בְּעוֹמֶר הַשִּׁכְחָה.
6 <strong>MISHNAH:</strong> If he took some of the <i>peah</i> and threw it on the rest, he has nothing of it. If he fell on it or spread his talith on it, one removes him from it. The same is valid for gleanings and the forgotten sheaf.
