Jerusalem Talmud Peah 8.2

English · Heinrich W. Guggenheimer

MISHNAH: They can be trusted about gleanings, forgotten sheaves, and peah at harvest time, and about the tithe of the poor its entire year; the Levite can always be trusted. But they can be trusted only about things that people are in the habit of doing.

HALAKHAH: How far? Rebbi Ḥanina said, to a place where he usually goes and returns the same day. It happened that Rebbi trusted five brothers about five kor of wheat. Is that not impossible? A little here and a little there adds up to a kor.

Rebbi Eleazer from the South asked before Rebbi Yose: Does our Mishnah follow Rebbi Eliezer, since Rebbi Eliezer said, if he can be trusted for the Second, he can be trusted for the First? Rebbi Yose said, it is everybody’s opinion. Here it is different since nobody fools around with deadly sins. Rebbi Eleazar in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: Just as Jews are not suspected in matters of the great heave, so Levites are not suspected in matters of the heave of tithes. Rebbi Hoshaia said, our Mishnah says so: The Levite can always be trusted.

Rebbi Mana asked, can the Levite always be trusted, even in the Sabbatical year?

Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said, the Levite may be trusted if he says, this is certainly tithe, to free it from Second Tithe. But if he says: It was given to me, or if he says that it is from his own crop, they cannot be trusted. That is the Mishnah: But they can be trusted only about things that people are in the habit of doing. So is the Mishnah: But they can be trusted only about things that people are in the habit of giving.
