Chapter 24

KJV - Deuteronomy 24:20

When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

When you shake your olive tree for olives, don't go back to hit it again. The extra olives are for those who are not part of a family (strangers), those without fathers, and those who have lost their husbands (widows).
