Deuteronomy 24:19

Context
24:19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, 1  you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. 2 

Deuteronomy 24:21

24:21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time; 3  they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.
