Bible "Fact of the Day" 01/29/2010
Leaving some of the harvest behind was a common practice in ancient cultures. It was a way to “thank” the god of fertility (or land, or whatever…depending on culture) for the harvest. The Law allows the same practice, but gives a different reason for it. The gleanings were to be left for those who were poor or aliens in the land, turning this act of pagan worship into an act of charity Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
