Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Peah/Chapter 6/5/Translation

From Wikisource
Two sheaves are forgotten, and three are not forgotten,
And two piles of olives or carobs are forgotten, and three are not forgotten,
And two flax-stalks are forgotten, and three are not forgotten,
And two single grapes are gleanings, and three are not gleanings,
And two ears of grain are gleanings and three are not gleanings,
These are the words of the school of Hillel.
And on all this the school of Shammai said,
“Three are for the poor and four are for the master of the house.”
