Deuteronomy 24:19-21

19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, ^{▼▼ Heb “in the field.”} you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. ^{▼▼ Heb “of your hands.” This law was later applied in the story of Ruth who, as a poor widow, was allowed by generous Boaz to glean in his fields (Ruth 2:1–13).} 20 When you beat your olive tree you must not repeat the procedure; ^{▼▼ Heb “knock down after you.”} the remaining olives belong to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time; ^{▼▼ Heb “glean after you.”} they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.
