3,162. Your Sheaves in Your Neighbor's Yard

Hilchos Matnos Aniyim 5:5

Let’s say that someone’s sheaves were blown into a neighbor’s field by the wind and he forgot a sheaf there. In such a case, it’s not shich’cha because Deuteronomy 24:19 says “your harvest in your field” (i.e., not in someone else’s field). If the wind scattered the sheaves in his own field and he forgot about them, then they are shich’cha.

Hilchos Matnos Aniyim 5:6

Let’s say that someone takes the first sheaf, the second and the third, but he leaves the fourth. If there’s a sixth sheaf, the fourth sheaf isn’t shich’cha until he takes the fifth. If there are only five sheaves, the fourth becomes shich’cha when he bends down to take the fifth.
