Context of Leviticus 19:10

8Everyone who eats it will bear [the responsibility for] his wickedness, for he has profaned a holy thing of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. 9‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings (grain left after reaping) of your harvest. And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather its fallen grapes; you shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am the Lord your God. 11‘You shall not steal, nor deal deceptively, nor lie to one another. 12You shall not swear [an oath] falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.
