And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

All Commentaries on Leviticus 19:9 Go To Leviticus 19

Clement Of Alexandria

AD 215

By this it gives excellent teaching to owners in the practice of generous sharing by leaving some of their property for those in need and providing the poor with a chance for food. .
