Leviticus 23:22

Leviticus 23:22

20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. ^aThey shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.

21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22 ^a‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the Lord your God.’ ”

24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the ^aseventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, ^ba memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, etc.—(See on Leviticus 19:9). The repetition of this law here probably arose from the priests reminding the people, at the presentation of the first-fruits, to unite piety to God with charity to the poor.
