Talk:Gleaning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm going to remove the reference to Jesus and his disciples gleaning. What they were doing is picking standing heads of grains, which was only allowed under Mosaic law if you didn't bring a basket,ie just a snack. The point of gleaning was to collect lots of grain. [stargate70]

[edit] Biblical References and Advocacy

Violation of NPOV, and irrelevant to gleaning as an activity. Deleted all.

Extra information could be added on supermarket bin raids and countermeasures.

Inserted Christian gleaning programme as 'See Also' link. --TresRoque 00:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Restoration of biblical references - explanation provided

The bible and Mishnah are viewed by many (though not all) secular scholars as a legitimate supplement to archelogical findings when trying to support claims about Jewish culture in the ancient world. As such they are appropriate citation sources. Egfrank 20:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
