מִי שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ מָאתַיִם זוּז, לֹא יִטֹּל לֶקֶט שִׁכְחָה וּפֵאָה וּמַעְשַׂר עָנִי. הָיוּ לוֹ מָאתַיִם חָסֵר דִּינָר, אֲפִלּוּ אֶלֶף נוֹתְנִין לוֹ כְאַחַת, הֲרֵי זֶה יִטֹּל. הָיוּ מְמֻשְׁכָּנִים לְבַעַל חוֹבוֹ אוֹ לִכְתֻבַּת אִשְׁתּוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה יִטֹּל. אֵין מְחַיְּבִין אוֹתוֹ לִמְכֹּר אֶת בֵּיתוֹ וְאֶת כְּלֵי תַשְׁמִישׁוֹ:

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
One who possesses two hundred zuz, may not take gleanings” the forgotten sheaf, peah or the poor man’s tithe. In order for a person to be eligible to take the agricultural gifts, he must have less than two hundred zuz to his name. While it is extremely difficult to determine how much purchasing power there was in those times to this amount of money, we can note that this is the same amount as a woman’s ketubah.

Bartenura on Mishnah Peah
ואת כלי תשמישו – nice utensils that he makes use of on Shabbat and Festivals, and these words when he comes to take gleanings, the forgotten sheaf and the corner of the field and he doesn’t take from the charitable communal fund that he can support himself in private, and he doesn’t take from is in the hand of the treasurer/manager, but if he takes from the charitable communal fund then we don’t let him to take even gleanings, the forgotten sheaf or the corner of the field until he sells his tools/dishes.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
If he possesses two hundred minus one denar, then even if a thousand [men] each give him at the same time, he may accept. If he has less than two hundred zuz (a denar is equivalent to a zuz), he can accept the agricultural gifts, even if a thousand people give to him at the same time. This would obviously put him “over the top” in terms of net worth. Nevertheless, since when each person gives him their gifts he is officially poor, he can accept from everyone.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
If he had [two hundred zuz] mortgaged to a creditor or to his wife’s ketubah, he may take. If he had money, but that money had a lien on it, either to a creditor or to his wife’s ketubah, which is essentially a debt document, then that money does not count and he may take the agricultural gifts.

English Explanation of Mishnah Peah
They do not force him to sell his house or his tools. Finally, only cash counts, not property. If he is poor but owns a house or some tools, for instance, they don’t force him to sell his property in order to buy food. Rather, although he has more than two hundred zuz worth of property, he may still take the agricultural gifts.
