Leviticus 23:22 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Observe the gracious attention of GOD in the repetition of this precept. See Leviticus 19:9. But, Reader, is not this precept of a sweet spiritual import also? Doth it not say, that as gleanings of the harvest were to be left in the corners of the field for the poor and the stranger: so in every corner of the earth there are gleanings of grace for poor and miserable sinners? John 1:16.

Leviticus 23:22

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
