I want to chime in on the gleaning laws. I believe they are a part of the Moral law. Jesus said the law is summed up in the two great commandments. Loving your neighbor as yourself is definitely moral. And helping the poor is a part of that. It is positive law in that reguard.

And for some reason, I can't make a strong argument for this, I would make the blood thing part of the moral law also. Especially since the life of the animal or anything is in the blood. It is a respect for life issue maybe. Just thinking off of the top of my head. But I can't make a good connection between the ten words or the Two commandments.
