In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it specifically denotes the remnants of the harvest that were intentionally left for the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner, as part of the social justice laws given by God to Israel. This practice was a means of providing for those in need and ensuring that the community cared for its vulnerable members.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was the primary means of sustenance, and the harvest was a critical time for ensuring food security. The Law of Moses included specific instructions for leaving the corners of the fields unharvested and not picking up what was dropped during the harvest (Leviticus 19:9-10, Deuteronomy 24:19-21). This practice of leaving "oleloth" was a tangible expression of God's justice and mercy, reflecting His concern for the marginalized and promoting a culture of generosity and community responsibility.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5953.htm">alal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a gleaning<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gatherers (1), gleaning (1), gleanings (4).<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">עוֺלֵלוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine plural intensive</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>gleaning</b></font> (<em>going over a second time</em>); — <em>gleaning</em> (of grapes and olives; <font class="hebrew2">לֶקֶט</font> of grain), always figurative of remnant: absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ע</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/17-6.htm">Isaiah 17:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">כְּנֹקֶף זַיִת</font>), <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/24-13.htm">Isaiah 24:13</a> (simile; "" <em>id.</em>, + <font class="hebrew2">בָּצִיר</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/49-9.htm">Jeremiah 49:9</a> (compare <font class="hebrew2">בֹּצְרִים</font> v<sup>a</sup>) = Obadiah 5 <em>(id.)</em>; construct <font class="hebrew2">עֹלִלֹת בָּצִיר</font> <a href="/interlinear/micah/7-1.htm">Micah 7:1</a>; figurative of warlike achievement <font class="hebrew2">עֹלְלוֺת אֶפְרַיִם</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/8-2.htm">Judges 8:2</a> (opposed to <font class="hebrew2">בָּצִיר</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>gleaning of the grapes, grape-gleanings <p>Feminine active participle of <a href="/hebrew/5953.htm">alal</a>; only in plural gleanings; by extens.
