MISHNAH: These measures apply to priests, Levites, and Israel. If he wanted to save, he gives half and takes half. If it was little, he puts it before them and they divide it up among themselves.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Jonah refers the Mishnah to the case when he has more than the measure: If he wanted to save, he takes away half and gives half, but if he has only the measure, he puts it before them and they divide it up among themselves. Rebbi Ḥizqiah refers the Mishnah to the case when he has the exact measure: If he wants to save, he takes away one half and gives one half; since if he takes away one half and gives one half it becomes less, he puts it before them and they divide it up among themselves.

Here you say, one may not give to the poor less than this from the threshing floor. And there you say, one may not give to the poor who is travelling from one place to another less than that. Rav Huna said, deduct one third for expenses. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun gave to the bakers according to the statement of Rav Huna, but only for these measures.

Rebbi Abba bar Abba bar Mamal asked before Rebbi Ilaī: What if they saw him leave the town and enter it again? He said to him, he who gives shall give and he who takes should be afraid for himself.
