Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Deuteronomy 24:19-22

All these are additional arguments, to manifest the tender mercies of the LORD. We have a beautiful example, of obedience to these precepts in the instance of Boaz. And, as in that instance, we have a lively type of the ever-blessed JESUS, I hope the Reader will not fail to consult it in this place and meditate upon it. Ruth 2:15. And are we not strangers, when we glean in the scriptures of JESUS? LORD, do thou command thy servants to let fall handfuls purposely for us, and give us to glean even among the sheaves.
