{Leviticus 19:9} And when ye reap 7114 z8800 x853 the harvest 7105 of your land, 776 thou shalt not x3808 wholly reap 3615 z8762 x7114 the corners 6285 of thy field, 7704 neither x3808 shalt thou gather 3950 z8762 the gleanings 3951 of thy harvest. 7105
ye reap the harvest:
In what code of laws merely human, is a requisition to be found so counteracting to selfishness, so encouraging to liberality, and so beneficently considering to the poor and needy? But the Mosaic dispensation, like the Christian, breathed with love to God, and benevolence to man. To the honour of the public and charitable spirit of the English, this merciful law is, in general, as much attended to as if it had been incorporated with the gospel. "For¹ whatsoever¹ soulª [it be] that¹ shall not¹ be afflictedª° in that¹ sameª day,ª he shall be cut offª° from among his people.ª¹" {Lev 23:29} + "When¹ thou cuttest downª° thine harvestª in thy field,ª and hast forgotª° a sheafª in the field,ª thou shalt not¹ go againª° to fetchª° it: it shall be¹ for the stranger,ª for the fatherless,ª and for the widow:ª that¹ the LORDª thy Godª may blessª° thee in all¹ the workª of thine hands.ª ... When¹ thou gatherest²° the grapes¹ of thy vineyard,ª thou shalt not¹ gleanª° [it] afterward:ª it shall be¹ for the stranger,ª for the fatherless,ª and for the widow.ª" {Deu 24:19-21} + "And Ruthª the Moabitessª saidª° unto¹ Naomi,ª Let me now¹ go²°¹ to the field,ª and gleanª° ears of cornª afterª¹ [him] in whose sightª I shall findª° grace.ª And she saidª° unto her, Go,²°¹ my daughter.ª" {Rth 2:2} + "And when she was risen upª° to glean,ª° Boazª commandedª°¹ his young men,ª saying,ª° Let her gleanª° even¹ among¹ the sheaves,ª and reproachª° her not:¹" {Rth 2:15}
