English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: The following eat by Torah law: He who works on produce connected to the ground at the completion of work, or separated from the ground before the completion of work, only things grown from the earth. But the following may not eat: He who works on produce connected to the ground before the completion of work, or separated from the ground after the completion of work, or things not grown from the earth. If he was working with his hand but not with his feet, with his feet but not with his hands, even with his shoulder, he may eat. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah says, only if he works with hands and feet.

HALAKHAH: “The following eat by Torah law,” etc. Rebbi La said, “if you come into your neighbor’s vineyard.” Could anybody think that he would eat wood or stones? Why does the verse say “grapes”? That he may not skin figs or suck grapes.

“If he was working with his hand but not with his feet.” Rebbi La said, it is written: “If you come into your neighbor’s standing grain,” etc. With his hands, binding. With his feet, he compresses. Even with his shoulder, he carries.

“Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah says, only if he works with hands and feet; this excludes him who works with his hands but not with his feet, with his feet but not with his hands.”

“Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Jehudah says, threshing. Since threshing is special in that it refers to something grown from the earth, this excludes the one who milks, makes cheese with rennet or with mold, which is not something grown from the earth. Since threshing is special in that it refers to something not completely processed; this excludes wine after it was fermented, [olive oil] after it descended into the vat, one who isolates dates or separates dried figs, done after complete processing. Since threshing comes before the obligation of tithes, this excludes him who kneads dough, separates into cakes, or bakes, which comes after it became obligated for tithes.”
