4.6 A non-Jew who harvested his field and then converted, he is exempt from leaving gleanings, the forgotten sheaf and peah. Rabbi Judah makes him liable to leave the forgotten sheaf, since he becomes liable for the forgotten sheaf at the time of their binding. 4.7 One who dedicated standing grain to the Temple and then redeemed it while it was still standing grain, he is liable to give the agricultural gifts to the poor. If he dedicated sheaves and redeemed them while they were still sheaves, he is liable. If he dedicated standing grain and redeemed it when it was already in sheaves, he is exempt, since at the time when it became liable it was exempt. 4.8 Similarly one who dedicates his produce prior to the stage when they are subject to tithes and then redeemed them, they are liable to be tithed. If he dedicated them when they had already become subject to tithes and then redeemed them, they are liable to be tithed. If he dedicated them before they had ripened, and they became ripe while in the possession of the Temple treasurer, and he then redeemed them, they are exempt, since at the time when they would have been liable, they were exempt.''
