(דברים יד כט) **וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ**, יָכוֹל בֵּין חֲסֵרִים וּבֵין שֶׁאֵין חֲסֵרִים? וְאַל תִּתְמַהּ, שֶׁהֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר (דברים כד יז): ״וְלֹא תַחֲבֹל בֶּגֶד אַלְמָנָה״ – בֵּין עֲנִיָּה וּבֵין עֲשִׁירָה! תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (ויקרא יט י): ״עָנִי״ – מַה עָנִי חָסֵר אַף כֻּלָּם חֲסֵרִים.

**Pisqa’ 110**²⁹⁸
1. “And the *migrant*, the *fatherless*, or the *widow* within your gates” (Dt. 14:29).
Is it possible to say that
[the Pauper’s-tithe is offered]
whether one is in need or not in need?
Now, you shouldn’t wonder [at this]!
For, indeed, He says:
“Nor seize the garment of a *widow*” (Dt. 24:17)—
whether she is poor or rich!
[But] the Teaching states [regarding Gleanings]:
“Leave them for the pauper” (Lv. 19:10)—
just as the pauper is in need,
so, too, all these others are in need.

[Sifrei Devarim 110:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:2)

יָכוֹל בֵּין בְּנֵי בְרִית וּבֵין שֶׁאֵינָם בְּנֵי בְרִית? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לֵוִי**, מָה לֵוִי בֶּן בְּרִית – אַף כֻּלָּם בְּנֵי בְרִית.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
Is it possible to say that
[all of them are entitled to the Pauper’s-tithe],
whether or not they are covenant partners [i.e., Israelites]?
[No, for] the Teaching states:
“The *Levite*” (Dt. 14:29)—
just as the Levite is a *covenant partner,*
so, too, all of these [others] must be *covenant partners*.

[Sifrei Devarim 110:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:3)

**וְאָכְלוּ וְשָׂבֵעוּ** – תֵּן לָהֶם כְּדֵי שָׂבְעָם. מִכָּן אָמְרוּ (תוספתא פאה ד ב): אֵין פּוֹחֲתִים לֶעָנִי בַּגֹּרֶן מֵחֲצִי קַב חִטִּים אוֹ קַב שְׂעוֹרִים.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
“And they shall eat and be satisfied” (Dt. 14:29)—
give them enough to satisfy them.
On this basis they taught:
**On the threshing floor, they do not give to a pauper**
**less then a half-*qav* of wheat or a *qav* of barley.**²⁹⁹.

[Sifrei Devarim 110:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/110:4)

**בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ** – מְלַמֵּד שֶׁאֵין מוֹצִיאִים אוֹתוֹ מִן הָאָרֶץ לְחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
“*In* your gates” (Dt. 14:29)—
this teaches that
you may not expel [paupers]
from the Land to beyond the Land.

אָמְרוּ: מִשְׁפַּחַת בֵּית נַבְלָטָה הָיְתָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם, וְנָתְנוּ לָהֶם שֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת כִּכְּרֵי זָהָב, וְלֹא רָצוּ לְהוֹצִיא חוּץ לִירוּשָׁלִַם.

**Trans. by Marty Jaffee, 2015:**
They taught: **A clan from the family of Nevalta**
**once lived in Jerusalem.**
**[Sages] offered them 600 talents of gold,**
**for they didn’t want to expel them from Jerusalem.**³⁰⁰ 303.1-2.
