abstract
  • The agricultural laws discussed in this and the following tractates are based on "measures," i.e. on quantities and percentages. At the outset, however, this first mishnah informs us that some things have no measure, and it is a person’s heart that decides the amount to do or give. Specifically, this tractate begins by dealing with the "corners of the field" that are left for the poor (Vayikra 19:9, 23:22). This obligation has no measure according to biblical law, and the size of a field’s "corners" is completely up to the owner of the field. However, rabbinical decree later set a minimum size for the "corner": at least one-sixtieth must be left for the poor (see next mishnah).
