To teach you that whoever gives ‫ — לֶ קֶט‬gleanings, ‫ — ׁשִ כְ חָה‬forgotten sheaves, and ‫— ּפֵָאה‬ the produce at the corner of the field, to the poor in the appropriate manner, is considered as if he had built the Holy Temple and offered sacrifices within it. To address this issue, which arises directly from his first comment, Rashi cites Rabbi Avdimi: “To teach you that whoever gives ‫ — לֶ קֶט‬gleanings, ‫ׁשִ כְ חָה‬ — forgotten sheaves, and ‫ — ּפֵָאה‬the produce at the corner of the field, to the poor in the appropriate manner, is considered as if he had built the Holy Temple and offered up his sacrifices within it.” In other words, these gifts to the poor taken from the harvest are thematically linked to the chapter as a whole which discusses holiday sacrifices offered in the Beis Hamikdash.

(Toras Kohanim 23:175) The Questions: 1) Why does Rashi — whose practice is to present a straightforward approach in his commentary — offer an aggadic explanation for the placement of this law and not the pragmatic, straightforward explanation of Ibn Ezra — that because Shavuos is the wheat-harvest season, the Torah took the opportunity to repeat this command as a reminder, to ensure that the laws concerning the harvest would not be forgotten? The Explanation: Rashi is not initially perturbed by the placement of these laws, because it fits the general theme of the chapter, which discusses the laws of the grain harvest, beginning with the omer offering (verse 10), and continuing with the grain offerings of Shavuos. Rashi explains, “so that one who disobeys transgresses two negative commands.” (Ibn Ezra’s explanation is not tenable in the plain sense of Scripture, for we do not find that Torah reiterates a command to prevent forgetfulness.) But if the only purpose for the Torah repeating this law is to make the transgression more severe, then the placement becomes puzzling. (This
