19:9 “‘When you gather in the harvest 3 of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, 4 and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest. 19:10 You must not pick your vineyard bare, 5 and you must not gather up the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.
