19 " When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field , you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien , for the orphan , and for the widow , in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:19
