Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Peah/Chapter 4/10/Translation

What is a gleaning?

That which drops in the hour of harvesting.

If he harvested a handful, or grabbed a fistful,

And a thorn pricked him,

And it fell from his hand to the earth,

Indeed, it belongs to the master of the house.

If it was from the inside of his hand, or from the blade of the scythe,

It belongs to the poor.

If from outside his hand, or the back of the scythe,

It belongs to the master of the house.

Also if it is from the tip of the hand or the tip of the scythe.

R’ Yishmael says, “It is for the poor.”

R’ Akiva says, “It is for the master of the house.”
