The Theology of the Unharvested Edge: Why God Commands Inefficiency — Leviticus 19:9-10

“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God. — God embeds the rights of the poor into the architecture of your productivity — not as charity, but as divine ownership.
