22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 22. And now, therefore, when truth is implanted in good, it is no longer appropriated to selfish purposes in its ultimate expression with full power, internally; nor is that good to be contaminated with selfish motives externally; on the contrary they are ascribed to the Lord in works of charity and faith from charity, and this without any selfish or worldly motive.
