LEVITICUS 19:10 Caring for the poor and the stranger (alien)--those often left to fend for themselves-- is a mandate from YHWY (GOD) punctuated by a thundering "I am the LORD your YHWH (GOD)." To be sure that "the least of these My brethren" were not ignored, YHWH (GOD) instructed His people not to sweep through their fields a second time to harvest the maximum crop yield; instead, they were to leave what remained for those in need.
