כִּ֣י תִקְצֹר֩ קְצִֽירְךָ֨ בְשָׂדֶ֜ךָ וְשָֽׁכַחְתָּ֧ עֹ֣מֶר בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה לֹ֤א תָשׁוּב֙ לְקַחְתּ֔וֹ לַגֵּ֛ר לַיָּת֥וֹם וְלָאַלְמָנָ֖ה יִהְיֶ֑ה לְמַ֤עַן יְבָרֶכְךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בְּכֹ֖ל מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדֶֽיךָ׃
Quand tu feras la moisson de ton champ, si tu as oublié dans ce champ une javelle, ne retourne pas la prendre, mais qu’elle reste pour l’étranger, l’orphelin ou la veuve, afin que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te bénisse dans toutes les œuvres de tes mains.

The argument of the rabbis seems inverted; there they say to exclude the hidden things62This refers to Mishnah Peah 6:9, Sifry Deut. 283, interpreting Deut. 24:19: If you cut your harvest on your field and you forget a sheaf on the field, you may not return to take it. R. Jehudah says, this excludes anything hidden, the Sages say this includes everything hidden. But in Deut. 21:1, on your field is interpreted as “not hidden in a heap,” excluding any hidden corpse., but here they say to include the hidden things. There, “your field,” in the open, to exclude that which is hidden; “your harvest,” in the open, to exclude that which is hidden. It is a restriction after a restriction63The principle that a restriction after a restriction is an extension is universally accepted in both Talmudim; in Horaiot 1:1 it is generalized to the statement that any sequence of restrictions of an even number of elements is an extension; for an odd number of elements it is a restriction. to add the hidden things. But here, “on the land,” not floating on the water.

How does it work out108What is the practical difference between R. Eleazar who treats the oversized sheaf as sheaf and the Tanna who treats it as a stack?? If he forgot one sheaf next to it, if you make it a sheaf, everybody agrees that it is “forgotten sheaf.109Then you have two sheaves which for everybody are subject to “forgotten sheaves.”” If you make it a stack, a difference between Shammai and Hillel110This should read: the Houses of Shanmai and Hillel. The House of Shammai in Mishnah 6:2 freed the sheaf next to a stack from “forgotten sheaves;” the House of Hillel did not.. If he forgot two sheaves, if you make it sheaves, a difference between the Houses of Shammai and Hillel111For the House of Hillel, one has three sheaves and it is an exempted row; for the House of Shammai one would need four.; if you make it a stack it will not be considered a row112Then one only has two sheaves which even for the House of Hillel are not a row..
