Deuteronomy 24:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 24:22

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land
of Egypt
When they would have been glad to have enjoyed the like favours, as small as they might seem to be, even to glean in their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards;

therefore I command thee to do this thing;
to suffer the poor to take the forgotten sheaf, and to come into their oliveyards and vineyards, and gather what olives and grapes remained after the first beating of the one, and the ingathering of the other.

Deuteronomy 24:22 In-Context

20 si fruges colliges olivarum quicquid remanserit in arboribus non reverteris ut colligas sed relinques advenae pupillo ac viduae

21 si vindemiaveris vineam tuam non colliges remanentes racemos sed cedent in usus advenae pupilli ac viduae

22 memento quod et tu servieris in Aegypto et idcirco praecipiam tibi ut facias hanc rem
