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.”
