Deuteronomio 24:21

21 Cuando coseches las uvas de tu viñedo, no repases las vides. Deja los racimos que quedan para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas.

Deuteronomio 24:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 24:21

When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard
Which was done much about the same time that the olives were gathered, and both after wheat harvest, about the latter end of June, or beginning of July; for they were more forward in those hot countries:

thou shall not glean [it] afterwards;
go over the vines a second time, to pick off every berry or bunch that escaped them at first gathering:

it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow;
as the forgotten sheaf, and the olive berries left; these are all supposed to be poor persons, otherwise no doubt there were strangers, and fatherless persons, and widows, in good circumstances; who, as they needed not, so neither would give themselves the trouble, but think it beneath them to go into fields, oliveyards, and vineyards, to gather what was left by the owners. These laws were made in favour of the poor, that mercy and kindness might be showed to them, and that they might have a taste of all the fruits of the earth.

Deuteronomio 24:21 In-Context

19 »Cuando estés juntando la cosecha y olvides un atado de grano en el campo, no regreses a buscarlo. Déjalo allí para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas. Entonces el Señor
tu Dios te bendecirá en todo lo que hagas.

20 Cuando sacudas los olivos para que caigan las aceitunas, no pases por las mismas ramas dos veces. Deja las aceitunas que quedan en el árbol para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas.

21 Cuando coseches las uvas de tu viñedo, no repases las vides. Deja los racimos que quedan para los extranjeros, los huérfanos y las viudas.

22 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en la tierra de Egipto. Es por eso que te doy este mandato.
