What is the definition of "Olelos" and "Peret"?
Rashi and Targum Yonasan: 'Olelos' are incomplete clusters of grapes that have no 'Ketef' -twigs of grapes that come out of the central spine and no 'Nataf - single grapes at the foot of the central spine; 1 whereas 'Peret' are loose grapes that fall during the picking (corresponding to Leket in a corn-field).
Rashbam: Ol'los means a corner of the vineyard, 2 (corresponding to Pe'ah in a corn-field.
Bartenura (Pe'ah 7:4): 'Ketef' is sprigs that spread out, because they rest on one another. 'Nataf' is grapes at the bottom of the spine that rest on one another. 3
Rashi (in B'rachos, 35a): Just a single row of grapes. See also Torah Temmah, note 42.
Rashbam: as in Yirmiyah, 6:9.
The Moshav Zekenim ialso seems to concur with this explanation.
What are the implications of "Karm'cha Lo Se'Olel" (as opposed to "Ki Sivtzor Karm'cha" in Ki Seitzei Devarim, 24:21)?
Pe'ah 7:7: It implies that Olelos applies even to a vineyard that consists entirely of Olelos. 1
See Torah Temimah, note 44. Pe'ah Ibid.: And the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei ("Ki Sivtzor Karm'cha, Lo Se'olel") teaches us that the poor are not permitted to take Olelos before the field has been completely harvested.
What are the implications of "Peret Karm'cha"?
Pe'ah, 7:3: It implies that Peret is confined to grapes that fall due to the harvesting. 1
See Torah Temimah, note 45.
What are the implications of the juxtaposition of "Lo Selaket" to "le'Ani ... "?
Gitin, 12a: It implies that one may not pick up the fallen grapes on behalf of the poor man or assist him to pick them up. 1
Chulin, 131b: It is a warning to the poor man to leave Peret and Olelos in his own vineyard. 2
What are the implications of "Le'Ani ve'la'Ger Ta'azov osam"?
Chulin, 134b: One only needs to leave the above for the poor, but not for the ravens and the bats. 1
Sifra: It implies that one must leave the above for the poor to collect and may not distribute it among them even if ninety-nine Aniyim ask for it to be distribited and one wants to pick it himself.
Targum Yonasan and Yerushalmi Pe'ah, 4:1: It implies that Pe'ah must be left attached to the ground. 2
Yerushalmi Pe'ah, 4:5 It implies that Safek Leket is Leket, Safek Shikchah is Shikchah and Safek Pe'ah is Pe'ah. 3
Yerushalmi Pe'ah, 6:4: It implies two grapes - and two kernels (for Leket), one for the Ani and one for the Ger, to teach us that two kernels constitute Leket but not three. 4
What are the implications of the "Ta'azov osam"?
Chulin, 131b: One must leave the above in the field for whichever Ani comes first and may not invite an Ani of one's choice to pick them. 1
Yerushalmi Pe'ah, 4:1: We learn from the word "Osam" that the owner may pick on behalf of the poor, Pe'ah from a high trellis or dates from a date-palm.
Yerushalmi Pe'ah, 6:1: "Osam" implies that it is only Matnos Aniyim that are Hefker for Aniyim exclusively, whereas regular Hefker is only Hefker if it is Hefker for poor and rich alike. 2
Oznayim la'Torah: "Ta'azov Osam", as opposed to 'Titen Osam' implies that it already belongs to the poor, either as partners (R. Yehudah) or as owners (R. Meir). 3
Why does the Pasuk insert "Ani Hashem Elokeichem" here?
Rashi #1: As a warning that Hashem is a judge and will punish 1 those who deprive the poor of their rights. 2
Rashi (in Emor, 23:22): To teach us that Hashem is reliable to pay reward (if we follow His instructons)..
Seforno: Refer to 19:9:3:1***.
See also Rashi in Emor, 23:22 and later at the end of Pesukim 12 & 16.
Rashi: What's more, He punishes those who rob the poor with the death-sentence, as the Pasuk indicates in Mishlei, 22:22.
