[Sifrei Devarim 284:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/284:1)

(דברים כד כ) **כִּי תַחְבֹּט זֵיתְךָ**, הָרִאשׁוֹנִים הָיוּ חוֹבְטִים זֵיתֵיהֶם וְהָיוּ נוֹהֲגִים בָּהֶם עַיִן יָפָה. מִכָּן אָמְרוּ: הַזַּיִת שֶׁהוּא עוֹמֵד עַל שָׁלֹשׁ שׁוּרוֹת שֶׁל שְׁנֵי מַלְבְּנִים וּשְׁכָחוֹ – אֵינוֹ שִׁכְחָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 24:20) "When you beat your olive tree, you shall not cut off (*lo tefa'er*) after you": The early settlers would beat their olive trees and act magnanimously (with what was left on them). "*your* olive trees": to exclude (from *peah*) those of gentiles.

[Sifrei Devarim 284:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/284:3)

**לֹא תְפַאֵר**, לֹא תִּתְפָּאֵר לֶעָנִי בּוֹ. מִכָּן אָמְרוּ: מִי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מַנִּיחַ אֶת הָעֲנִיִּים לְלַקֵּט, אוֹ שֶׁמַּנִּיחַ אֶחָד וְאֶחָד אֵינוֹ מַנִּיחַ, אוֹ שֶׁמְּסַיֵּעַ אֶת אֶחָד מֵהֶם, הֲרֵי זֶה גּוֹזֵל אֶת הָעֲנִיִּים, וְעַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (משלי כב כח): ״אַל תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עוֹלָם״.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
*lo tefa'er*": You shall not "lord it" over the poor man — whence they ruled: One who does not allow the poor to pick (the gleanings) or allows one but not another, or helps one of them (to pick) is robbing from the poor. And concerning such as this it is written (Proverbs 22:28) "Do not remove the bounds of yore."

[Sifrei Devarim 284:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/284:6)

**לַגֵּר לַיָּתוֹם וְלָאַלְמָנָה**, נֶאֱמַר כָּאן גֵּר וְיָתוֹם וְנֶאֱמַר לְהַלָּן גֵּר וְיָתוֹם, מַה גֵּר וְיָתוֹם הָאָמוּר לְהַלָּן בְּעוֹשֶׂה סָאתַיִם אַף גֵּר וְיָתוֹם הָאָמוּר כָּאן בְּעוֹשֶׂה סָאתַיִם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow shall it be": It is written here "stranger, orphan," and above (19) "stranger, orphan." Just as there (to render it subject to *shikchah*) its capacity must be less than two *sa'ah*, so, here. From here it was ruled: An olive tree which contains two *sa'ah* and which was forgotten is not subject to *shikchah*. An olive tree standing between (any two of) three rows (of olive trees) separated by a plot of two *malbenim* (six hand-breadths) from one another is not *shikchah*.
