English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: When is everybody permitted to take gleanings of grain? After the second wave of seekers is gone. Single grapes and gleanings of grapes, after the poor have come to the vineyard and gone. Olives after the second wave of rainfall. Rebbi Jehudah said, are there not people who do not harvest their olives until after the second wave of rainfall? Rather when a poor man goes out and does not collect more than the value of four assarii.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joḥanan said, why are they called nĕmūšōt, because they come at the end. Abba Shaul used to call them “gropers.” Some formulate in the Mishnah nĕmūšōt, some formulate mĕšūšōt. He who says nĕmūšōt, because they come at the end. Those who say mĕšūšōt, because they grope to come. Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Menaḥem: Rebbi Joḥanan ben Nuri used to go out with the second wave of seekers and returned with his needs for the entire year.

It was stated: The gifts to the poor standing on the field about which the poor do not care belong to the proprietor. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya asked, may a person give the name of peah to take for himself? Rebbi Simeon bar Ioḥai stated: (Lev. 19:10,22) “Abandon them to the poor and the stranger,” not ravens and bats.

“Single grapes and gleanings of grapes, after the poor have come to the vineyard and gone.” We did not state “the second wave of seekers;” since these are so desirable they all come immediately.

“Olives after the second wave of rainfall.” We did not state “the second wave of seekers;” since when it is cold, only young people will go out.

And before that, is it not forbidden because of robbery? They received their answer according to their reasoning: You who say that because of the cold only young people will go out, for you, since he knows that he will not bring home enough for his upkeep, he will not go out.
