Commentary for Menachot 142:1

<br> they permitted for use the branches of carob and sycamore trees which had been dedicated to the Temple, they made breaches in their gardens and orchards so as to allow the poor to [come in and] eat the fallen fruit on Sabbaths and Festivals in years of drought, and they gave pe'ah from vegetables; and the Sages forbade them! -But according to your view, too, [this passage is difficult, for] it says 'six things' and it enumerates seven! You must therefore delete reaping from here. <br>
