Deuteronomy 24:19-21

Contemporary English Version

Leave Some of Your Harvest for the Poor

Moses said to Israel:

^19 (A) If you forget to bring in a stack of harvested grain, don't go back in the field to get it. Leave it for the poor, including foreigners, orphans, and widows, and the Lord will make you successful in everything you do.

²⁰ When you harvest your olives, don't try to get them all for yourself, but leave some for the poor. ²¹ And when you pick your grapes, go over the vines only once, then let the poor have what is left.
