Hebrew Text

נותנין פאה מתחלת השדה ומאמצעה.
רבי שמעון אומר:
ובלבד שיתן בסוף כשיעור.

אם שייר קלח אחד – סומך משום פאה,
ואם לאו – אינו נותן אלא משום הפקר.

Leave the Peah from the beginning [of the harvest] of the field or in the middle [of the harvest].
Rabbi Shimon says:
Only give out of the final measure.
Rabbi Yehudah says:
If he has left even one stalk, he must give Peah.
And if otherwise, he is giving away his crop to the public.

Final measure: i.e. after the full yield of the field has been measured.
