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

If a sheaf is two Seah (one Seah is 8.29 to 14.4 L) and he forgets it, it is not forgotten.

"If two sheaves are two Seah, Rabban Gamliel says, “It is for the master of the house.”

And the Sages say, “It is for the poor.”

Rabban Gamliel said, “Is that so?

A majority of the good sheaves are secured for the master of the house

And you weaken what was secured for him.”

They said to him, “His part is secured for him.”

He said to them, “And since, in his time, he had one sheaf, and it was two Seah,

And he forgot it, yet it is not forgotten,

Then if he had two sheaves and they were two Seah, is it not the law that he did not forget?”

They said to him, “No, if you say that one sheaf was like a stack,

"Will you come to say that two sheaves are like small bundles?”
