In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it specifically pertains to the practice of gleaning, which was a provision for the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner. This practice allowed those in need to gather what was left behind by the harvesters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the practice of gleaning was an important social welfare system embedded in the agricultural laws. According to the Mosaic Law, landowners were instructed not to reap the very edges of their fields or gather the gleanings of their harvest. This was a divine mandate to ensure that the vulnerable members of society had access to food and sustenance. The practice of gleaning is a reflection of the communal and covenantal nature of Israelite society, emphasizing care for the marginalized and the importance of community support.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3920.htm">lakad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a taking, capture<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>caught (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">לֶ֫כֶד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a taking, capture</b></font> (compare <a href="/interlinear/psalms/9-16.htm">Psalm 9:16</a>) <font class="hebrew2">וְשָׁמַר רַגְלְךָ מִלָּ֑כֶד</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/3-26.htm">Proverbs 3:26</a> subject <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>being taken <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3920.htm">lakad</a>;
