Context of Leviticus 19:10

8Anyone who eats it on the third day will be punished for defiling what is holy to the Lord and will be cut off from the community. 9“When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop. It is the same with your grape crop—do not strip every last bunch of grapes from the vines, and do not pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the Lord your God. 11“Do not steal. “Do not deceive or cheat one another. 12“Do not bring shame on the name of your God by using it to swear falsely. I am the Lord.
