Leviticus 23:23
"“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. You must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”"
Key Reflection
This passage from Leviticus emphasizes divine compassion, mandating that a portion of the harvest be left for the poor and foreigners as a demonstration of God's care for the marginalized. By withholding from total harvest, the Israelites were reminded of their covenantal relationship with God and their responsibility to uphold justice and mercy in their communities.
