וּֽבְקֻצְרְכֶ֞ם אֶת־קְצִ֣יר אַרְצְכֶ֗ם לֹֽא־תְכַלֶּ֞ה פְּאַ֤ת שָֽׂדְךָ֙ בְּקֻצְרֶ֔ךָ וְלֶ֥קֶט קְצִירְךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְלַקֵּ֑ט לֶֽעָנִ֤י וְלַגֵּר֙ תַּעֲזֹ֣ב אֹתָ֔ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ (ס)
你們在自己的地上收割莊稼的時候，你收割時不可割盡田地的角落，也不可拾取你收割時遺落的穗子；要把這些留給窮人和寄居的人。我是永恆者你們的上帝。
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
לא תכלה פאת שדך . The reason for the demand to leave a corner of one's field unharvested and to leave other parts of the harvest for the poor, (19,9) has to do with the poor man's quarreling with Heavenly Justice complaining about his underprivileged status. The four kinds of harvest left-overs designated by the Torah for the poor are designed to restore peace and harmony between the poor and G–d. They are able to do this because they apply to bread and wine, the two major components in man's eating habits. The poor derives some satisfaction when he observes that at the very time when the landowner has reason to be most smug and self-satisfied, i.e. when he brings in his harvest, he is reminded by this legislation that he himself is subservient to a Higher Authority, i.e. to G–d.
