The Definition of the word Glean
Glean
The corners of fields were not to be reaped, and the sheaf "accidentally left behind was not to be fetched away, according" to the law of Moses (Lev. 19:9; 23:22; Deut. 24:21). They were to be left for the poor to glean. Similar laws were given regarding vineyards and oliveyards. (Comp. Ruth 2:2.)
