ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף משלי 22:28

One who places a basket under the vine when he is harvesting [the grapes], behold he is a robber of the poor. Concerning him it is said: “Do not remove the landmark of those that come up (” (Proverbs 22:28). By putting the basket under the vine when harvesting, he is preventing anything from becoming peret. The mishnah calls one who does such a thing a “robber of the poor.” This is the same words with which mishnah 5:6 ended. I will copy here what I wrote there: The final midrash on Proverbs 22:28 is based on a variant reading of the text of Proverbs. The Masoretic (traditional Jewish) text reads, “Do not remove the ancient (olam) landmark stone.” Our text reads the word “olam” as if it was written “olim.” “Olim” usually means “those who go up” and therefore it may be being used euphemistically here for the poor who could be called “those who are going down,” meaning they have lost their money.

die heruntergekommen sind. Dieser Vers findet sich in משלי כ״ב, כ״ח dort heisst es jedoch עולָם nicht עולים wie hier in der Mischna steht. Die Bedeutung dieses Wortes wird durch R. Jirmijah und R. Joseph im Jeruschalmi verschiedentlich angegeben. Nach dem Einen sind darunter die עולי מצרים gemeint, deren Gesetze man beobachten soll. Nach dem Andern sind darunter die Armen verstanden, wie man den Blinden סגי נהורא, der viel Licht hat nennt, so עולים = die Heruntergekommenen.

One who does not allow the poor to gather, or one who allows one but not another, or one who helps one of them [to gather] behold he is a robber of the poor. Concerning him it is said: “Do not remove the landmark of those that come up (” (Proverbs 22:28). The mishnah concludes with some general exhortations against these types of arrangements. One should not do anything to give preferential treatment to some poor people over others. The final midrash on Proverbs 22:28 is based on a variant reading of the text of Proverbs. The Masoretic (traditional Jewish) text reads, “Do not remove the ancient (olam) landmark stone.” Our text reads the word “olam” as if it was written “olim.” “Olim” usually means “those who go up” and therefore it may be being used euphemistically here for the poor who could be called “those who are going down,” meaning they have lost their money.
