Deuteronomy24:21

Previous Verse

Translation

When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, do not later collect what is leftover;

Go to footnote number

it shall be for the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows.

Paraphrase

When you are in your vineyard picking grapes (which are your primary source of something safe to drink), do not check the vines again after you have picked them once; what is left behind must remain there for those who have trouble finding work and for

those who have no close relatives to care for them.
