vintage

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

A little while after this festival, the Shechemites, who had now repented themselves of having slain the sons of Gideon, drove Abimelech away, both from their city and their tribe; whereupon he contrived how he might distress their city. Now at the season of vintage, the people were afraid to go out and gather their fruits, for fear Abimelech should do them some mischief. Now it happened that there had come to them a man of authority, one Gaal, that sojourned with them, having his armed men and his kinsmen with him; so the Shechemites desired that he would allow them a guard during their vintage; whereupon he accepted of their desires, and so the people went out, and Gaal with them at the head of his soldiery. So they gathered their fruit with safety; and when they were at supper in several companies, they then ventured to curse Abimelech openly; and the magistrates laid ambushes in places about the city, and caught many of Abimelech's followers, and destroyed them.

If a man sold wine to his fellow and it turned sour he is not responsible. But if it was known [to the seller] that his wine would [soon] turn sour, this is a mistaken purchase. If he had said to him, “I am selling you spiced wine”, he is responsible for its remaining [good] until Shavuoth. [If he said] it is old wine, it must be from last year’s. [If he said] it is vintage old wine, it must be from the year before last.

MISHNAH: What are dropped berries? Anything that drops during vintage. If he was gathering grapes, cut off the bunch, it got mixed up in the leaves, fell to the ground and scattered, that belongs to the proprietor. He who puts a basket under the vine while he is gathering grapes robs the poor, and about him it was said (Prov. 22:28, 23:10): “Do not displace an eternal boundary.” What is a gleaning of grapes? Anything that has no shoulder and no dropping. If it has either shoulder or dropping it belongs to the proprietor, in case of doubt it belongs to the poor. A gleaning on a cut branch, if it can be cut off together with a bunch it belongs to the proprietor, otherwise to the poor. An isolated berry, Rebbi Jehudah says, it is considered a bunch, but the sages say, a gleaning.

MISHNAH: A vineyard that produces only gleanings, Rebbi Eliezer says, they are for the proprietor, Rebbi Aqiba says, for the poor. Rebbi Eliezer said (Deut. 24:21): “When you gather your grapes … do not take the gleanings after it.” If there is no vintage, where are the gleanings? Rebbi Aqiba told him (Lev. 19:10): “Do not take gleanings from your vineyard,” even if it is all gleanings. If that is so, why does it say “when you gather your grapes … do not take the gleanings after it;” the poor have no right to the gleanings before the vintage.

HALAKHAH: Similarly, if there is no harvest there are no single berries, until there should be vintage along vintage, not if a wild animal ate it.

III. (4) Weightier rules on the other hand hold in a heave-offering, for in Judea people are believed with regard to the purity of wine and oil all the days of the year, but, at the time of the vintage and the oil pressing, with regard to the heave-offering also. When the vintage and the oil pressing are over, and they bring to him a cask of wine for heave-offering, he does not receive it from him, but he leaves it for the next vintage. But if he say to him, I have separated and put into the midst of it a fourth part of something consecrated for hallowed things, he is believed. In the case of vessels of wine and vessels of oil

But at the time of the vintage...[they are believed] with regard to the heave-offering also. But against this I adduce the following Baraitha, viz., He who finishes his olives shall leave aside one box and place it before the eyes of the priest. R. Nachman said, There is no difficulty. The one is the case of new, the other of old ones. R. Ada bar Ahăba said to him, For instance things like those belonging to the house of thy father. R. Joseph said, The teaching refers to Galilee. Abai replied to him, The other side of Jordan and Galilee, lo, these are as Judea. Another explains, They are believed about wine at the time of wine, and oil at the time of oil, but not about wine at the time of oil, and not about oil at the time of wine. But it is perfectly clear that it is as originally explained.

When the vintage and the oil pressing are over, and they bring to him a cask of wine..., he does not receive it from him, but he leaves it for the next vintage. R. Shesheth's disciples asked him, Suppose that it is over, and yet he receives it, what about the law that he shall leave it for the next vintage? He said to them, Ye have this teaching already.

Take the case of a learned and observant man and a common person who are their father's joint heirs. The common person may say to him, Take thou the wheat that is in such a place, and I will take the wheat that is in such a place; take thou the wine that is in such a place, and I will take the wine that is in such a place. But he may not say to him, Take thou the liquid and I will take the dry; take thou the wheat, and I will take the barley. And there is a further teaching with regard to it. That same learned and observant man burns the liquid and leaves the dry. Why? Let him leave it for the next vintage. It may be one of the things which have no vintage. Let him leave it for one of the great Feasts. It may be one of the things which will not keep till the Feast. But if he say, I have separated and put into the midst of it the fourth part of something consecrated for hallowed things, he is believed.

In the case of vessels of wine and vessels of oil etc. There is a Baraitha, viz., They are not believed either about the cans or about the heave-offering. Cans belonging to what? If I say, cans belonging to hallowed things; but in that case, seeing that he is believed about the hallowed things, he is believed also about cans which belong to those hallowed things. But are they cans belonging to heave-offerings that are meant? But then it is a clear case. Look now. About heave-offering he is not believed. Shall he be believed about cans that belong to it? But it is a case of cans which are empty of hallowed things, and it is during the remaining days of the year. But in the case of those full of heave-offering and at the time of the vintage they are believed.

For seventy days before the vintage. Abai said, Learn from this that it is decided that the farmer shall go up to cleanse the casks seventy days before the time of the presses.
