Core Text
וְהִנַּחְתָּ בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ – הָאוֹמֵר קוֹנָם שֶׁאֵינִי נֶהֱנֶה לַבְּרִיּוֹת, יָכוֹל לֵיהָנוֹת מִלֶּקֶט שִׁכְחָה וּפֵאָה וּמַעֲשַׂר עָנִי הַמִּתְחַלֵּק בְּתוֹךְ הַגֳּרָנוֹת, דִּכְתִיב בֵּיהּ וְהִנַּחְתָּ בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ.

English: "And you shall leave it within your gates" — One who vows "konam that I will not benefit from people" may still benefit from leket, shikhecha, pe’ah and ma’aser ani that is distributed in the threshing floors, for concerning them it is written "and you shall leave it within your gates."

On the daf / in context: These gifts are regarded as ownerless once left in the public domain, and therefore do not constitute benefit derived from other people.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Nedarim) — ownerless agricultural gifts are not "benefit from people."

What Is Learned

One who has vowed not to benefit from people may still take leket, shikhecha, pe’ah and ma’aser ani left in the public domain.
