וְחַיֶּבֶת בְּלֶקֶט וּבְשִׁכְחָה וּבְפֵאָה. וַעֲנִיֵּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַעֲנִיֵּי כֹהֲנִים, מְלַקְּטִים. וַעֲנִיֵּי יִשְׂרָאֵל, מוֹכְרִין אֶת שֶׁלָּהֶם לַכֹּהֲנִים בִּדְמֵי תְרוּמָה, וְהַדָּמִים שֶׁלָּהֶם. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא יְלַקְּטוּ אֶלָּא עֲנִיֵּי כֹהֲנִים, שֶׁמָּא יִשְׁכְּחוּ וְיִתְּנוּ לְתוֹךְ פִּיהֶם. אָמַר לוֹ רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, אִם כֵּן, לֹא יְלַקְּטוּ אֶלָּא טְהוֹרִים:

And [<i>Terumah</i> that has been planted is] obligated in <i>Leket</i> [fallen gleanings given to the poor], <i>Shikhecha</i> [forgotten sheaves given to the poor], and <i>Pe'ah</i> [corner of a field that must be given to the poor]. The poor of the Israelites and the poor of the priests may glean them, but the poor of the Israelites must sell theirs to the priests for the price of <i>Terumah</i> and the money is theirs. Rabbi Tarfon says: none may glean except the poor of the priests, lest [Israelite gleaners] forget and put it into their mouths. Rabbi Akiva said to him: if so, then none may glean except the pure.
