Peah 3:2 - 3:3

המנמר – he harvests his field place by place, that would speckled, from the [Biblical] language (Jeremiah 13:23): “[Can the Cushite change his skin,] Or the leopard his spots?..,” for he reaped the grain that ripened first, the first of the field.

ושייר קלחים לחים – those that had not ripened.

נותן פאה לכל אחד ואחד – and when he returns to harvest the moist stalks that he left, those that are speckled interrupts and it is not considered the beginning of the harvest.

בזרוע שבת – vegetation that we call in the foreign language ANITAV.

שהוא נותן פאה לכל אחת ואחת – because it is not their manner to sow from them one field; therefore, all of these garden-beds are considered as if each one of them are one field, and dill and mustard are liable for Peah, even though we don’t give a corner of the field for vegetation, because it is used for seeding and it is considered for kinds of seeds, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.

המחליק בצלים – there are those who interpret the language [in Biblical terms] (Genesis 27:11): “[Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, ‘But my brother Esau is a hairy man] and I am smooth-skinned,’” for when they were detached/plucked, the place remained smooth/empty. And there are those who interpret it as when he levels [a field by taking out crops], when he takes part of the moist/fresh onions to sell them in the market place and another part he leaves the dry ones for the granary for storage.

נותן פאה לאלו לעצמן – they are like two different kinds of wheat.

וכן בכרם – and similarly one who clears the vineyard, its law is like one who clears out the onions.

המדל נותן מן המשוייר על מה ששייר – at the time that the onions are sown close together, he takes from one from among them in order that the remainder will grow with open space and become large. That is what is called to thin out the vineyard by lifting up and loosening them from their place and our Mishnah (Tractate Shevi’it, Chapter 4, Mishnah 4) teaches: “Who is one who levels his field? He takes one and leaves two,” and those which he uproots to give space to the rest are not liable for Peah because it is for the repair of the remainder, therefore, he gives Peah from the remainder alone and what has been uprooted is exempt from anything and it is not considered reaping.

המחליק מאחת יד – that is to say, from one matter, or all of it for the granary or all of it to the market. And Maimonides explains “with a unity of hand” (i.e., all of them for one purpose), that the part which he takes to sell in the marketplace he does take from here and there, but all of it is from one side.
