Talmud for Kilayim 8:4

It¹¹⁴The exact parallel is in Sifra Qedoshim 2–7; an almost identical quote is in Babli Qidddushin 30b. is said (Lev. 19:3): “Everybody must fear his mother and his father,” and it is said (Deut. 6:13): “You must fear the Eternal, your God, and serve Him.” This brackets the fear of father and mother with the fear of Heaven. It is said (Ex. 20:12): “Honor your father and your mother,” and it is said (Prov. 3:9): “Honor the Eternal with your property.” This brackets the honor of father and mother with the honor of the Omnipresent. Is is said (Ex. 21:17): “He who curses his father or his mother shall be put to death,” and it is said (Lev. 24:19): “Everybody who curses his God must bear his sin.” This brackets cursing father and mother with cursing the Omnipresent. It is impossible to speak about hitting relative to the Deity¹¹⁵It is written (Ex. 21:15): “He who hits his father or mother must be put to death.” This law cannot have a parallel in relation to the Deity.. All this is logical since all three of them are partners in his creation¹¹⁶Since father and mother contribute the animal part of his being and God gives soul, spirit, and life (Babli Niddah 31a)..

If one sowed it for seeds before the Sabbatical New Year⁸⁶Assuming that the roots are well formed before the New Year. As vegetable all is forbidden since both tithes and the Sabbatical status are determined by the time of the harvest., then in the Sabbatical year both seeds and vegetables are permitted. If one sowed it as vegetable before the Sabbatical New Year, then in the Sabbatical year both seeds and vegetables are forbidden. If one sowed it both for seeds and vegetable before the Sabbatical New Year, then in the Sabbatical year clearly seeds are permitted. What is the status of vegetables? Rebbi Ḥiyya stated “forbidden”, Rebbi Ḥalaphta ben Shaul stated “permitted”. He who says “permitted” follows the word of the orah. He who says “forbidden”, because of the bad impression⁸⁷Since the goal of the planting is purely in the mind of the farmer, other people will suspect that he planted for vegetables and now illegally takes the growth of the Sabbatical year for himself.. Rebbi Simeon bar Zevida asked before Rebbi Yose: Then it should be forbidden even to use it to feed one’s animals, because of the bad impression⁸⁸Cf. Kilaim 9:2, Notes 32 ff. The questioner follows Rav in his opinion that any prohibition because of a bad impression is absolute. The answer is that reasonable behavior will prevent gossip. The rest of the paragraph defines reasonable behavior.. He said to him, one should not give to his son or to his agent, nor should he harvest in a row. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, if a hole was torn out it is permitted⁸⁹This is unprofessional harvesting and certainly permitted in the Sabbatical year.. Even according to him who says it is forbidden, if he harvested and found vegetable in it⁹⁰A few pods that still can be eaten as vegetable. If the harvest is for the white beans, most pods will be inedible and the few green ones will not cause gossip., it is permitted. Similarly, when a man came carrying ten bundles of Lybian [beans]⁹¹See Kilaim, Note 67; green Egyptian beans are called Lybian. as tithe to Rebbi Jeremiah, he said that this should not be done; do not harvest more than what is needed for the pan⁹²A Greek word, cf. Peah, pp. 239, 335..
