Quotation for Rosh Hashanah 25:16

אלא מנלן כדתניא רבי יונתן בן יוסף אומר (ויקרא כה, כא) ועשת את התבואה לשלש השנים

For it is written, And the people went up from the Jordan on the tenth of the month.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Josh. IV, 19.');">¹³</span> Now if you assume that by then the corn had not grown at all, could it become ripe in five days? But [on your assumption] that it had grown to a fourth or a fifth, could [such corn] become ripe in five days? What you consequently have to answer [even on this assumption] is that the land of Canaan is called 'the land of the hind';<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Dan. XI, 16 (E.V. beauteous land) . The Sages say that the Land of Israel is compared to a hind on account of its swiftness in bringing its products to maturity. Keth. 112.');">¹⁴</span> so [on the other assumption] you can answer that it is called 'the land of the hind'. R'Hanina objected strongly to the statement made above. Can you, he said, maintain that this 'asif' is 'harvesting', seeing that it is written, when thou gatherest in from thy threshing floor and from thy wine press,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XVI, 13. 'From' is taken in the partitive sense.');">¹⁵</span> and [commenting on this] a Master has said , The verse speaks of the waste of the threshing floor and the wine press?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To show that it may be used for covering the sukkah; and the phrase, Festival of 'asif' ('ingathering') here too has the same signification - the festival that comes at the time when people 'gather in' the waste products for the sukkah.');">¹⁶</span> Said R'Zera: I thought I was sure of this,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'this thing was in our hand'.');">¹⁷</span> and now R'Hanina has come and put a spoke in my wheel.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'has thrown into it an axe'.');">¹⁸</span> How then do we know [this rule about a third]? - As it has been taught: R'Jonathan B'Joseph says: And it shall bring forth produce for the three years;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XXV, 21.');">¹⁹</span>
