MISHNAH: If someone sells his field, the seller is permitted but the buyer is barred. Nobody should hire a worker on condition that his son may collect gleanings after him. He who does not let the poor collect gleanings, or who lets one person collect but not the other, or helps one of them, robs the poor. On him it was said (Prov. 22:28, 23:10): “Do not displace an eternal boundary.”

HALAKHAH: Our Mishnah is about someone who sold the field with the standing crop. But if someone sold the standing crop and retained the field for himself, for him I read “your field”, for the other one I read “your harvest.”

“By doing so, he robs the poor.” The owner who does that robs the poor. The worker who does that robs the owner and the poor, and about him it was said: “Do not displace an eternal boundary.”

Rav Jeremiah and Rav Joseph, one said these are the ones who came up from Egypt, the other said these are the ones who lost their property; a blind man is called “plenty of light.” Rebbi Isaac said, (Is. 58:7) “degraded poor you shall bring to your house.” Rebbi Abin said, if you do this, I will credit it to you as if you had presented First Fruits in the Temple. It says here, “you shall bring,” and it says there (Ex. 23:19): “The first fruits of your land you shall bring to the Eternal’s Temple.”
