Jerusalem Talmud Peah 3.2

משנה: הַמַּחֲלִיק בְּצָלִים לַחִין לְשׁוּק וּמְקַיֵים יְבֵשִׁין לְגוֹרֶן נוֹתֵן פֵּיאָה לְאֵלּוּ לְעַצְמָן וּלְאֵלּוּ לְעַצְמָן וְכֵן בַּאֲפוּנִים וְכֵן בְּכֶרֶם. הַמֵּידָל נוֹתֵן מִן הַמְשׁוּאָר עַל מַה שֶׁשִּׁיֵיר. וְהַמַּחֲלִיק מֵאַחַת יָד נוֹתֵן מִן הַמְשׁוּאָר עַל הַכֹּל.

MISHNAH: He who rips out moist onions for the market and keeps dry ones for storage gives peah for each batch separately; the same applies to peas and vineyards. He who thins out gives peah for what is left. He who rips out with one hand gives from the remainder for everything.

הלכה: תַּנִּי הַמֵּירוֹג חַיָיב בִּתְחִילָתוֹ וְחַיָיב בְּסוֹפוֹ. וְאֵיי דֵינוֹ מֵירוֹג. אָמַר רִבִּי יִרְמְיָה כְּהָדָא דְתַנֵּינָן הַמַּחֲלִיק בְּצָלִין לַחִים לְשׁוּק וּמְקַיֵים יְבֵישִׁין לְגוֹרֶן. אֲמַר רבִּי יוֹסֵי הַדֵּין קִיצְחָה כַּד אַתְּ זְרַע לֵיהּ הוּא עֲבִיד בָּצֶל דַּקִּיק. כַּד אַתְּ שְׁתַל לֵיהּ הוּא עֲבִיד בָּצֶל רָב. דִּי לָא כֵן מַה נָן אָמְרִין הוֹאִיל וְהוּא לִזְרִיעָה יְהֵא פָּטוּר מִן הַפֵּיאָה. וְחִיטִּין לֹא לִזְרִיעָה הֵן. חִטִּין רוּבָּן לַאֲכִילָה וְזֶה רוּבּוֹ לִזְרִיעָה. עַל דַּעְתֵּיהּ דְּרִבִּי יִרְמְיָה יֶרֶק חַיָיב בְּפֵיאָה. מִינוֹ מַכְנִסוֹ לְקִיּוּם. מַה עֲבַד לָהּ רְבִּי יוֹסֵי. גָּמוּר הוּא וְאֵינוֹ מְחוּסָּר אֶלָּא לְיַבֵּשׁ.

HALAKHAH: It is stated: “In patches it is obligated at the beginning and at the end.” What is “in patches?” Rebbi Jeremiah said, just as we have stated: “He who rips out moist onions for the market and keeps dry ones for storage.” Rebbi Yose said, for example nigella: If one sows it, it produces thin bulbs; if one plants seedlings, it produces large bulbs. For if it were not so, we would say because it is for sowing it should be freed from peah. But are wheat grains not also for sowing? Wheat is mostly for eating, that one is mostly for sowing. According to Rebbi Jeremiah, are vegetables subject to peah? Its kind is collected for storage. How does Rebbi Yose deal with it? It is finished and needs only to dry out.

תַּנִּי לֶקֶט קְצִירְךָ וְלֹא לֶקֶט קִיטוּף. רִבִּי זְעִירָא רִבִּי חִיָיא בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן הַמְלַקֵּט שִׁבֳּלִין לְעִיסָּתוֹ אֲפִילוּ כָּל שֶׁהוּא פָּטוּר מִן הַפֵּיאָה. רִבִּי לְעָזָר אוֹמֵר אֲפִילוּ בְמַגָּל. אֲמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי וְהוּא שֶׁשִּׁיֵיר. וְהָתַנִּי הָיוּ לוֹ חָמֵשׁ גְּפָנִים וְהוּא [בּוֹצְרָן] וּמַכְנִיסָן לְתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ פָּטוּר מִן הַפֶּרֶט וּמִן הָעָרְלָה וּמִן הָרְבָעִי וְחַיָיב בְּעוֹלְלוֹת. אָמַר רִבִּי יוּדָן כָּאן בִּגְמוּרוֹת כָּאן בִּשְׁאֵינָן גְּמוּרוֹת. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי וַאֲפִילוּ תֵימָא כָאן וְכָאן בִּגְמוּרוֹת. כָּאן וְכָאן בִּשְׁאֵינָן גְּמוּרוֹת. תַּמָּן כְּשֶׁבִּיקֵּשׁ לְאוֹכְלָן עֲנָבִים. בְּרַם הָכָא כְּשֶׁבִּיקֵּשׁ לַעֲשׂוֹתָן יַיִן עוֹשֶׂה. הָדָא יַלְפָא מִן הַהִיא וְהַהִיא יַלְפָה מִן הָדָא. הָדָא יַלְפָה מִן הַהִיא שֶׁאִם בִּיקֵּשׁ לְאוֹכְלָן מְלִילוֹת וַאֲפִילוּ לֹא שִׁיֵיר. וְהַהִיא יַלְפָה מִן הָדָא שֶׁאִם בִּיקֵּשׁ לִשְׁתוֹתָן יַיִן וְהוּא שֶׁשִּׁיֶיר.

It was stated: (Lev. 19:9) “The gathering of your harvest,” not the gathering of your plucking. Rebbi Zeïra, Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: He who collects ears for his dough in any quantity is free from peah. Rebbi Eleazar says, even with a sickle. Rebbi Yose said, only if he left some standing. Did we not state (Tosephta Peah 1:10): “If he had five vines and he harvested them and brought them into his house, he is free from fallen berries, from orlah, from the fourth year, but he is obligated for gleanings. Rebbi Yudan said, one for those which are fully ripe, one for those which are not fully ripe. Rebbi Yose said, you may even say that both deal with the case that they are fully ripe, or both deal with the case that they are not fully ripe. There if he wanted to eat them as grapes, here if he wanted to make them into wine, he may do so. This is informed from that and that is informed from this. This is informed from that, if he wants to eat them as rubbed ears [he may do so] even if he did not leave a remainder. That is informed from this, if he wants to drink them as wine [he may do so] only if he left a remainder.

הַמֵּידָל נוֹתֵן מִן הַמְשׁוּאָר עַל מַה שֶׁשִּׁיֵיר. תַּנִּי אָמַר רִבִּי יוּדָה בְּמַה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים בְּמֵידַל לְשׁוּק אֲבָל בְּמֵידַל לְבַיִת נוֹתֵן מִן הַמְשׁוּאָר עַל הַכֹּל. אֲמַר רִבִּי זְעִירָא הָדָא דְּתֵימָא בְּשֶׁעִיבָּה עַל מְנָת לְהַדֵּל. אֲבָל אִם עִיבָּה עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא לְהַדֵּל לֹא סוֹף דָּבָר לְבֵיתוֹ אֶלָּא אֲפִילוּ לְשׁוּק נוֹתֵן מִן הַמְשׁוּאָר עַל הַכֹּל.

“He who thins out gives peah for what is left.” It was stated (Tosephta Peah 1:10): Rebbi Jehudah said: When has this been said? If he thins for sale, but if he thins for his own use he gives from the remnant for everything. Rebbi Zeïra said, that means, if he sowed thickly in order to thin later. But if he sowed thickly without intention to thin later, not only if he uses it for himself but even for the market he gives from the remnant for everything.
