"‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God." - Leviticus 19:9, 10
Leviticus Its in the pick and choose portion of the king james opinion of the bible.
Well it is "the Rules of the Tribe of Levi" canonically speaking they are laws made not by God but by a bunch of priests. It is important for biblical historical context reasons but technically speaking these are ancient society laws. It's why instructional portions detailing animal sacrifice are included in that section when modern Christians tend to look at animal sacrifice as a satanic cult kind of thing.
Provided you are Christian ( before the atheists start in, I'm not - I just study the religion as a part of gaining historical background info) Using Leviticus to justify one's opinions on anything strikes me as showing that one read the text absent the scholarly context. A lot of Christians do this because book annotations wouldn't be a thing before 1000 AD and it really benefited a lot of powerful people to never mention context of the compiling process of the book because once the supposed less than divine fingerprints on the processed material are brought to light it weakens it's power as a tool of authority.
canonically speaking they are laws made not by God
but the passage ends with God signing off on the law
So next time you're at the tabernacle or trying to be being a priest you'll know how to behave, sure.
God signs of on mortal codes of governance multiple times in the text. Obedience to "Laws of the land" are a thing in other texts. The order seems to be "be orderly and in accordance to whatever the power structure where you are agrees is fair" it is pretty all over the place, Romans, Deuteronomy, Paul, Hebrews Numbers... God wields a pretty big ole rubber stamp.
