Leviticus 19:9-10

Be Holy Because I Am Holy: Covenant Life Before God and Neighbor

The LORD commands the whole assembly of Israel to be holy because He is holy, then applies that holiness across reverence for parents, Sabbath keeping, rejection of idols, proper fellowship offerings, care for the poor and foreigner, honesty, justice, love of neighbor, sexual and agricultural boundaries, rejection of pagan practices, Sabbath and sanctuary reverence, honoring the elderly, love for the foreigner, and honest weights and measures.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

9When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.
