When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:19

Theological / Devotional

Thine harvest. God ordained numerous laws for easing the lot of the needy (Leviticus 19:9, 10; 23:22). The landless were given the privilege of gleaning the fields, the vineyards, and the olive groves. The landowner could well spare the gleanings, and thereby bring happiness to the poor, relieve their need, and at the same time warm his own heart (see Proverbs 11:24).
