In Context

6Yet shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive-tree,—Two-three berries in the head of the tree-top,—Four—five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh God of Israel.

8And he shall not look unto the altars the work of his own hands,—Nor to what his own fingers have made, shall his eye be turned, Whether Sacred Stems or Sun-pillars.
