Halakhah for Peah 6:6
הָעֹמֶר שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ סָאתַיִם, וּשְׁכָחוֹ, אֵינוֹ שִׁכְחָה. שְׁנֵי עֳמָרִים וּבָהֶם סָאתַיִם, רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, לְבַעַל הַבָּיִת. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, לָעֲנִיִּים. אָמַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, וְכִי מֵרֹב הָעֳמָרִים יֻפֵּי כֹחַ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת אוֹ הוּרַע כֹּחוֹ. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, יֻפֵּי כֹחוֹ. אָמַר לָהֶם, וּמָה אִם בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא עֹמֶר אֶחָד וּבוֹ סָאתַיִם וּשְׁכָחוֹ, אֵינוֹ שִׁכְחָה, שְׁנֵי עֳמָרִים וּבָהֶם סָאתַיִם, אֵינוֹ דִין שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא שִׁכְחָה. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, לֹא, אִם אָמַרְתָּ בְּעֹמֶר אֶחָד שֶׁהוּא כְגָדִישׁ, תֹּאמַר בִּשְׁנֵי עֳמָרִים שֶׁהֵן כִּכְרִיכוֹת:
If a sheaf has [a volume of] two <i>Seah</i> [a specific unit of volume] and he forgets it, it is not <i>Shikhechah</i>. If two sheaves have [together a volume of] two <i>Seah</i>, Rabban Gamliel says: [It belongs] to the property owner; the Sages say: [It belongs] to the poor. Rabban Gamliel said, "Does an abundance of sheaves strengthen the power of the property owner or weaken his power?” They said to him, “They strengthen his power.” He said to them, “So since, at a time when there is one sheaf and it has two <i>Se'ah</i> and he forgot it, it is not <i>Shikhechah</i>, [if he had] two sheaves and they have two <i>Se'ah</i>, is it not the law that they will not be <i>Shikhechah</i>?” They said to him, “No, if you say [a law] regarding one sheaf, which is like a stack, will you say [that law] regarding two sheaves, which are like small bundles?”
