Deuteronomy 24:19-21
“When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward. It shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow.”
This passage is part of the book of Deuteronomy, presented as Moses' final instructions to the Israelites before they enter the promised land. It outlines laws for how they are to live as a community, including many commands about justice, worship, and care for the vulnerable.
What small, practical ways can we ensure that our abundance creates opportunity for others?
