TO GLEAN
Both during harvesting and harvesting, it was prohibited for the owners to rush the harvest to the maximum. The corners of the fields had to be left and the harvested land or the vineyards could not be gleaned or gleaned after the grape harvest (Lev. 19:9, 10; 23:22; Rt. 2:2-23, etc.).
It was to be left for the poor to freely gather for their sustenance. The term “gleaning” applies to collecting the gleanings of ears left by the reapers on the field when tying the wheat into sheaves. (See the application of this law in the book of Ruth, (Rt. 2:3, 23).
