Leviticus 25:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Of its own accord; from the grains that fell out of the ears the last reaping time. Thou shalt not reap, i.e. as thy own peculiarly, but only so as others may reap it with thee, for present food. The grapes of thy vine undressed, Heb. the grapes of thy separation, i.e. the grapes which thou hast separated or set apart to the honour of God, and to the ends and uses appointed by God; or the grapes of that year, which are in this like the Nazarites hair, not cut off by thee, but suffered to grow to the use of the poor.

Leviticus 25:5

5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
