18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt(A) and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. That is why I command you to do this.
19 When you are harvesting in your field and you overlook a sheaf, do not go back to get it.(B) Leave it for the foreigner,(C) the fatherless and the widow,(D) so that the Lord your God may bless(E) you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time.(F) Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.

18 But you are to remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
19 “(A)When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you are not to go back to get it; it shall belong (B)to the stranger, the [a]orphan, and to the widow, in order that the Lord your God (C)may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 (D)When you beat the olives off your olive tree, you are not to search through the branches [b]again; that shall be left (E)for the stranger, the [c]orphan, and for the widow.
