Deuteronomy 24:19-21
New English Translation

19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there,[a] 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.[b] 20 When you beat your olive tree you must not repeat the procedure;[c] the remaining olives belong to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time;[d] they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.
