Context of Leviticus 19:10

8Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people. 9“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the resident alien; I am the Lord your God. 11“Do not steal. Do not act deceptively or lie to one another. 12Do not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God; I am the Lord.
