Why does the Torah juxtapose the word "u've'Kutzr'chem" to the Parshah of Shavu'os?
Chagigah, 17b: The combination of the words "u'Kerasem" and "u've'Kutzr'chem" (a day which we both call "Mikra Kodesh" and on which we cut the harvest) 1 teaches us that Shavu'os has 'Shiv'as Y'mei Tashlumin' - seven days on which to compensate not having brought the Chagigah by bringing it then.
See Torah Temimah, note 75.
Having already taught the Mitzvos of Pe'ah and Leket (see 19:9), why does the Torah repeat them here?
Rashi: To sentence the transgressor to two sets of Malkos:
Refer to 23:22:2:1-4.
Seforno: After thanking Hashem for a successful harvest, the Torah issues a warning on how to succeed in preserving one's gains - by giving Leket and Pe'ah. 1
Seforno: As the Gemara states in Kesuvos, 66b 'Melach Mamon Chaser' or 'Melach Mamon Chesed'.
Why does the Torah insert the Mitzvos of Pe'ah and Leket in the Parshah of the Regalim?
Rashi: To teach us that when someone leaves Leket, Shikchah and Pe'ah, it is as if he has built the Beis-Hamikdash and brought Korbanos in it.
Ramban #1 and Moshav Zekenim (both citing the Ibn Ezra): Bearing in mind that Shavu'os begins the wheat harvest season, the Torah is issuing a warning not to forget to carry out the Mitzvos that pertain to that time of year.
Ramban #2: With reference to the beginning of the Parshah, the Torah is teaching that, even when cutting the barley for the Omer, the Mitzvah of the Korban Omer does not override the Lavim of Leket and Pe'ah, and that one is nevertheless obligated to leave them for the poor.
Rashbam: Because it comes into effect aftTo teach us that if one keeps the Mitzvos of Leket, Shikchah, Pe'ah and Ma'aser Ani, it is considered as if the Beis-Hamikdash was standing and he brought Korbnos in it, whereas if he doesn't, it is as if the Beis-Hamikdash was standing and he failed to bring Korbanos in it. 1
Oznayim la'Torah: The Torah inserts Matnos Aniyim before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kipur (days of Din and of Rachamim), because, if someone has compassion on others, Hashem will have compassion on him (and he will be inscribed for the forthcoming year in the Book of life). 2
See Torah Temimah, note 77.
As the Pasuk writes in Mishlei, 10:2 & 11:4 "u'Tzedakah Tatzil mi'Maves". See also Oznayim la'Torah.
What are the implications of the words "Ta'azov osam?
Rashi: It implies that one should leave Pe'ah in the corner of the field for the poor to cut, and not to assist them to collect it. 1
See Sifsei Chachamim.
Why does the Torah omit Shikchah?
Refer to 19:9:4:1 and note.
Why does the Pasuk conclude "Ani Hashem Elokeichem"?
Rashi #1: To teach us that Hashem will reward the person who leaves Pe'ah and Leket in his field.
Rashi #2 (19:2): Refer to 19:2:2:1* .
Seforno: To teach us that Hashem is the G-d of both the harvesters and of the poor who collect the Pe'ah and the Leket; and He will reward those who do good to the latter in fulfillment of His wishes.
Refer to 23:24:2.1:1.
