“Graciousness, courtesy, compassion-this is hesed. Hesed is a quality that extends even to the animals and the land.

Even the soil of the vineyards was not to be overtaxed by planting other crops between the rows (Deut. 22:9). The oxen that trod out the grain were not to be muzzled so that they could eat while they worked (Deut. 25:4). And so on.”
