Jerusalem Talmud Peah 6.6

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: Standing produce saves sheaves and standing produce. But a sheaf saves neither sheaves nor standing produce. What is standing produce that saves sheaves? Everything that is not forgotten, even if it is only one stalk. A seah of uprooted grain and a seah of not uprooted grain, also trees, garlic and onions do not combine. Rebbi Yose says, if a poor man’s right comes in the middle, they do not combine, otherwise they do combine.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Illa said, it is written (Deut. 24:19): “When you are harvesting your harvest on your field and you forget a sheaf on the field,” a sheaf surrounded by harvest and not a sheaf surrounded by standing produce. And why a sheaf surrounded by harvest and not a sheaf surrounded by standing produce? Under a sheaf surrounded by harvest is the field, under a sheaf surrounded by standing produce is straw.

It was stated: “The standing produce of his neighbor saves his own, the standing produce of a Gentile saves that of a Jew, the standing wheat saves barley, the words of Rebbi. But the Sages say, only his own produce saves and only its own kind.”

Rabban Simeon ben Gamliel stated: Just as standing produce saves the sheaf, so the sheaf saves the standing produce. This is logical: If standing produce, on which the power of the poor is enhanced, saves if any of it was forgotten, it is only logical that the sheaf should save, since on it the power of the poor is reduced. Rebbi answered him: If standing produce, on which the power of the poor is enhanced, saves if any of it was forgotten, is it logical that the sheaf, on which the power of the poor is reduced, if any of it was forgotten should save? From the words of both of them we infer that sheaf is saved by sheaf, but standing produce is not saved by standing produce.

Hence, if he forgot, is it “forgotten sheaf”? Explain it if he forgot the standing produce first.

Hence, if all is cut it is for the proprietor. Our Mishnah follows Rabban Gamliel.

Then the cut grain should save the uncut grain. This means that something that is apt to save, but was forgotten, can become legally forgotten. Rebbi Jonathan said, explain it if he was cutting and removing the sheaves row by row. He already forgot the standing grain before he might forget the sheaves.

Does it mean that it really comes, or only that it is able to come? Let us hear from the following: “For example grain and vineyard.” And is the vineyard on the spot? That means, even if it is able to come!
