Sheviis 9:6 - 9:7

המלקט עשבים לחים – he eats them [in the Seventh Year] without removal until the moistness of the land dries up that sweetens the produce and fruit; from then and onward, he is liable to remove them from the house.

המנגב ביבש – the person who gathers dry grasses, eats them without removal [from the house].

עד שתרד רביעה שניה – which in an average/intermediate year is the twenty-third of Mar Heshvan; from then on, he is required to remove them [from the hosue].

מגבב (gathers dry plants/leaves) – the Aramaic translation of (Exodus 5:12): “[Then the people scattered throughout the land of Egypt] to gather stubble for straw,” for rakings.

רביעה – because the rain fructifies the ground and bears living brood like this male that copulates the female. Another interpretation: that it sprinkles the dust and causes it to lie down. The Aramaic translation of (Genesis 29:2) (the Biblical text referred to does not have the requested verb in the singular tense – but it does appear in the plural): “three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it,” -lying.

ועלי גפנים – moist [leaves of vines]. They eat them all the while that the are found in their early stage of ripening, meaning to say, when they are attached to the tree.

שישורו – that they will fall.

והמגבב ביבש – owners of dry reeds and vines, he consumes them until the second rainfall occurs, and after that he should remove it [from the house].

בכולן – whether grasses or reeds and vines whether moist or dry, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

עניים נכנסים לפרדסאות – in the rest of the years of the Seven Year [cycle], [the poor] gather gleanings and the forgotten sheaves and the corner of the field, and similarly, they enter to the gardens in the aftermath of the Seventh Year

until the second rainfall occurs, because the fruits/produce of the Seventh Year that remained from it are permitted.

בתבן ובקש של שביעית – for mere straw and stubble are fit for consumption by animals and they have the sanctity of the Seventh Year, and it is prohibited to burn it and to derive the benefit of [destruction], because we expound (see Mishnah Sheviit, Chapter 8, Mishnah 1 – and Leviticus 25:6): “But you may eat whatever he land during its sabbath will produce,” and not for loss. But when it is abolished, what was in the field from the food for live beasts, it released the Sanctity of the Seventh Year from what is in the house.
