הָיָה אֶחָד עוֹשֶׂה כִּכַּר דְּבֵלָה וּשְׁנַיִם אֵין עוֹשִׂין, אוֹ שְׁנַיִם עוֹשִׂין וְאֶחָד אֵינוֹ עוֹשֶׂה, אֵין חוֹרְשִׁין לָהֶם אֶלָּא לְצָרְכָּן, עַד שֶׁיִּהְיוּ מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה וְעַד תִּשְׁעָה. הָיוּ עֲשָׂרָה, מֵעֲשָׂרָה וּלְמַעְלָה, בֵּין עוֹשִׂין בֵּין שֶׁאֵינָן עוֹשִׂין, חוֹרְשִׁין כָּל בֵּית סְאָה בִּשְׁבִילָן. שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שמות לד) בֶּחָרִישׁ וּבַקָּצִיר תִּשְׁבֹּת, אֵין צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר חָרִישׁ וְקָצִיר שֶׁל שְׁבִיעִית, אֶלָּא חָרִישׁ שֶׁל עֶרֶב שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁהוּא נִכְנָס בַּשְּׁבִיעִית, וְקָצִיר שֶׁל שְׁבִיעִית שֶׁהוּא יוֹצֵא לְמוֹצָאֵי שְׁבִיעִית. רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל אוֹמֵר, מָה חָרִישׁ רְשׁוּת, אַף קָצִיר רְשׁוּת, יָצָא קְצִיר הָעֹמֶר:

If one [tree] makes a block of pressed figs and two do not, or two make and one does not, one cannot plow for them except for their needs, as long as there are between three and nine [trees]. If there are at least ten, from ten and up, [regardless of] whether they produce or do not produce, the entire <i>Beit Se'ah</i> can be plowed because of their presence. As it says (Exodus 34:12), "From the plowing and the reaping you shall rest"; [this verse] is not needed to discuss the plowing and reaping of the Sabbatical year, rather the plowing of the pre-Sabbatical year that enters the Sabbatical year, and the reaping of the post-Sabbatical year that leaves the Sabbatical year. Rabbi Yishmael says, [this verse is needed to say that] just as [the prohibition extends only to] optional plowing, so too to optional reaping, excluding reaping the <i>Omer</i> [barley offering].
