Strong's Lexicon peah: Corner, edge, side, region Original Word: פֵאָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to "cleave" or "divide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "peah," the concept of leaving portions for the poor is echoed in the New Testament teachings on charity and generosity, such as in 2 Corinthians 9:6-9. Usage: The Hebrew word "peah" primarily refers to the corner or edge of something. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe the corners of a field, the edges of a garment, or the sides of a structure. The term is significant in the context of agricultural laws, particularly in the commandment to leave the corners of the field unharvested for the poor and the stranger (Leviticus 19:9-10). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The commandment to leave the "peah" of the field unharvested was part of the broader social justice and charity laws given to the Israelites. This practice ensured that the poor, the widow, the orphan, and the foreigner had access to food and sustenance. It reflects the communal responsibility and care for the marginalized within the covenant community.
