Comentário sobre Peah 6:5

שְׁנֵי עֳמָרִים, שִׁכְחָה, וּשְׁלשָׁה אֵינָן שִׁכְחָה. שְׁנֵי צִבּוּרֵי זֵיתִים וְחָרוּבִין, שִׁכְחָה, וּשְׁלשָׁה אֵינָן שִׁכְחָה. שְׁנֵי הוּצְנֵי פִשְׁתָּן, שִׁכְחָה, וּשְׁלשָׁה אֵינָן שִׁכְחָה. שְׁנֵי גַרְגְּרִים, פֶּרֶט, וּשְׁלשָׁה אֵינָן פֶּרֶט. שְׁנֵי שִׁבֳּלִים, לֶקֶט, וּשְׁלֹשָׁה אֵינָן לֶקֶט. אֵלּוּ כְּדִבְרֵי בֵית הִלֵּל. וְעַל כֻּלָּן בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, שְׁלשָׁה, לָעֲנִיִּים, וְאַרְבָּעָה, לְבַעַל הַבָּיִת:

Duas gavelas são Shikhechah e três não são Shikhechah , duas pilhas de azeitonas ou alfarrobeiras são Shikhechah e três não são Shikhechah , duas hastes de linho são Shikhechah e três não são Shikhechah , três não são Shikhechah , duas uvas únicas são Peret [uvas caídas dadas aos pobres] e três não são Peret , duas espigas de trigo são Leket [ relatos caídos dados aos pobres] e três não são Leket - [estas são as palavras de Beit Hillel; sobre tudo isso, Beit Shammai disse: Três [pertencem] aos pobres e quatro ao proprietário.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah

Two sheaves [left lying together] are “forgotten,” but three are not “forgotten.”
Two bundles of olives or carobs are “forgotten” but three are not “forgotten.”
Two flax-stalks are “forgotten”, but three are not “forgotten”.
Two grapes are considered “grape gleanings,” but three are not “grape gleanings.”
Two ears of grain are deemed “gleanings,” but three are not gleanings.”
All these [rulings] are according to Bet Hillel. And concerning them all Bet Shammai says that three [that are left] belong to the poor, and four belong to the owner.

The general rule of this mishnah is if that two things left lying together are considered to have been forgotten but three things left lying together are assumed to have been left there intentionally so that the owner could come back and collect them later. Hence they are not considered forgotten. This rule applies to two different types of gifts to the poor: “forgotten” and “gleanings.” The category of gleanings can be divided into two different types, each with its own Hebrew term: grain (leket) and grapes (peret).
In the sixth section of the mishnah we learn that the opinions found in the first five all belong to Bet Hillel. In contrast, Bet Shammai holds that if three things are left together in the field they are considered forgotten or gleanings. Only if four things are left together do they still belong to the owner.

Bartenura on Mishnah Peah

אלו כדברי ב"ה – And their reason is because it is written (Leviticus 19:10): “You shall leave them for the poor and the stranger,” one for the poor and one for the stranger/convert, that is two, and the School of Shammai states three for the poor and four for the owner of the house, as it is written (Deuteronomy 24:19): “it shall go to the stranger, the fatherless and the widow – [in order that the LORD your God may bless you in all your undertakings],” there is three for the poor.
