Exegesis
The verb tachbot {תַחְבֹּט | taḥbōṭ} ‘you beat’ (Qal imperfect) marks the harvest action, and the prohibitive lo + Piel imperfect tefaʾer {תְפַאֵר | tə-p̄āʾēr} ‘you glean thoroughly’ forbids an exhaustive pass.

When you beat your olive tree, do not go over the branches a second time ; what remains shall be for the sojourner , the orphan, and the widow.
