DEUTERONOMY 24:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.”
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not glean what is left; it shall be for the alien, the orphan, and the widow — vineyard gleaning parallels olive and grain laws. The three-time repetition of the vulnerable triad hammers the principle into community consciousness: the harvest's periphery belongs to the poor.
