Mishnayos Nedarim Perek 4 Mishnah 5

נדרים פרק ד׳ משנה ה׳

5

In the case of one for whom benefit from another is forbidden, before, i.e., a year other than the Sabbatical Year, he may neither enter the field of that other person, nor eat from the produce that leans out of the field, even if he does not enter the field. And during the Sabbatical Year, when the produce of the trees is ownerless, he may not enter his field; however, he may eat from the growths that lean out of the field, as the produce does not belong to the other person. If one vowed before the Sabbatical Year that benefit from another’s food is forbidden for him, he may enter his field; however, he may not eat of the produce. And during the Sabbatical Year, he may enter the field and may eat the produce.

הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ לִפְנֵי שְׁבִיעִית, לֹא יוֹרֵד לְתוֹךְ שָׂדֵהוּ, וְאֵינוֹ אוֹכֵל מִן הַנּוֹטוֹת. וּבַשְּׁבִיעִית אֵינוֹ יוֹרֵד לְתוֹךְ שָׂדֵהוּ, אֲבָל אוֹכֵל הוּא מִן הַנּוֹטוֹת. נָדַר הֵימֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל לִפְנֵי שְׁבִיעִית, יוֹרֵד לְתוֹךְ שָׂדֵהוּ, וְאֵינוֹ אוֹכֵל מִן הַפֵּרוֹת. וּבַשְּׁבִיעִית, יוֹרֵד וְאוֹכֵל:

מן הנוטות (from the overhanging fruit) – suspended/hanging fruit that overhang outside of the orchard.

ובשביעית לא ירד לתוך שדהו – even though the All-Merciful made ownerless the produce of the seventh year, the All-Merciful did not make the surface of the land ownerless, and we suspect lest at the time that he doesn’t eat from the produce, he will tarry on the field and be delayed there and benefit from the surface of the land which is not ownerless.

מן הנוטות. פירות תלויין הנוטין חוץ מן הפרדס:

ובשביעית לא ירד לתוך שדהו. אע״ג דפירות שביעית רחמנא אפקרינהו, גוף הקרקע לא אפקר רחמנא, וחיישינן שמא בשעה שאינו אוכל מן הפירות ישהה בשדה ויתעכב שם ויהנה מגוף הקרקע שאינו הפקר:
