What is this Pasuk coming to teach us?

1.

Rashi: It teaches us that someone who delayed giving Ma'aser in the first two years of the Sh'mitah cycle, 1 should clear them from his house (Z'man ha'Biy'ur) in (at the end of ? Targum Yonasan) the third year (and take them to Yerushalayim on Erev Pesach of the fourth year ? Rashi in Ki Savo). 2

2.

Oznayim la'Torah #1: It teaches us that in the third year - following the two years of Ma'aser Sheini 3 - one gives Ma'aser Ani, which can remain in the towns, and need not be taken to Yerushalayim.

3.

Oznayim la'Torah #2: It teaches us to give all one's Ma'asros 4 - besides Ma'aser Ani, throughout the third and sixth years, until the following Sukos and even Chanukah - and the time of Biy'ur is Erev Pesach 5 of the fourth and eighth years.


1

And the same applies to Ma'asros that he delayed giving in the fourth and fifth years, which he should clear out at the end of the sixth.

2

Refer to 26:12:2:2 & 3.

3

Oznayim la'Torah: And the same applies in the sixth year, following the fourth and fifth years of Ma'aser Sheini.

4

As implied by the words "es Kol Ma'asar Tevu'ascha".

5

See Oznayim la'Torah and refer to 14:28::1 and note 79.

2)

What are the connotations of "Miktzei Shalosh Shanim"?

1.

Targum Onkelos, Targum Yonasan and Yerushalmi Ma'aser Sheini, 5:3: It refers to Pesach (the Yom-Tov) 1 of the end of the third year (the year of Ma?aser Ani ? Rashbam). 2


1

Yerushalmi, ibid.: Which we learn via a Gezeirah Shavah ?Miktzei? ?Mikeitz Sheva Shanim ? be?Chag ha?Sukos? in Vayeilech Devarim, 31:10, in connection withe Hakheil.

2

See Torah Temimah, citing the Yerushalmi (Ibid.) regarding from where we know that this does not refer to Rosh Hashanah of the fourth or even to Chanukah - the end of the season.

3)

What is the word "es Kol <i>Ma'asar Tevu'ascha" coming to include?

1.

Sifri: Bearing in mind that the Pasuk is discussing Ma'aser Ani, it incorporates Ma'aser Rishon and Ma'aser Sheini in the Din of Biy'ur Ma'asros. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 79.

4)

What are the implications of the words "Vehinachta bi'She'arecha"?

1.

Nedarim, 84b: It implies that one leaves Ma'aser Ani Hefker in the granary for the Aniyim to pick up. Consequenly, someone who makes a Neder not to benefit from people, is permitted to benefit from Ma'aser Ani - in the summer when it is lying Hefker in the granary. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 82.

5)

How will we reconcile the current Pasuk "Vehinachta bi'She'arecha ... ", with the Pasuk in Ki Savo, 26:1 "Venasata la'Levi, la'Ger, la'Yasom ve'le'Almanah" implying that he is obligated to give it to the Ani?

1.

Sifri: The current Pasuk is speaking in the summer, when it is dry and the crops will not get spoilt if they are left outside; whereas the Pasuk in Ki Savo is speaking in the winter, when the owner is obligated to keep the crops at home to prevent them from becoming spoilt. 1
