Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Leviticus 23:22

Observe the gracious attention of GOD in the repetition of this precept. See Leviticus 19:9. But, Reader, is not this precept of a sweet spiritual import also? Doth it not say, that as gleanings of the harvest were to be left in the corners of the field for the poor and the stranger: so in every corner of the earth there are gleanings of grace for poor and miserable sinners? John 1:16.
