Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Peah/Chapter 7/7/Translation


 * If a vineyard consists entirely of grape gleanings,
 * R’ Eliezer says, “It is for the master of the house.”
 * R’ Akiva says, “It is for the poor.”
 * R’ Eliezer said, “’Because you harvest, you don’t glean.’ (Deuteronomy 24:21)
 * If you don’t harvest, where do the gleanings come from?”
 * R’ Akiva said to him, “And your vineyard is not gleaned by you (Leviticus 19:10),
 * Even if it is entirely gleanings.
 * If so, why does it say ‘because you harvest you don’t glean’?
 * This is for the poor who glean before the harvest.”
