Leviticus 19:9
7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.
8 Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.
When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.
11 You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
