Apabila engkau memetik buah anggur di kebun anggurmu, janganlah engkau memetik tandan-tandan kecil yang tersisa sesudah itu; itu harus menjadi milik orang asing, anak yatim, dan janda.

Rebbi Yose16The Amora. The reference here is to Halakhah 6:4 which specifically excludes single olives from the law of forgotten sheaves. The next reference to “Rebbi Yose” is to the Tanna. said, nobody applied the law of forgotten sheaves to olive trees except Rebbi Aqiba, for he drew inferences from “behind you, behind you.” Then there should be no “forgotten sheaf” for olive trees following Rebbi Yose who does not draw inferences from “behind you.17It says in Deut. 24:20–21: “If you shake your olive tree, do not pick single olives behind you; they shall be for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow. If you harvest your vineyard, do not pick unripe berries behind you; they shall be for the stranger, the orphan, and the widow.” Behind you must refer to things forgotten, since one harvests always in front of himself.” They objected, is not a sheaf subject to “forgotten sheaves”, and there it is not written “behind you.” Since it is written (Deut. 24:19): “Do not return to take it,” it is as if “behind you” were written there.
