Deuteronomy 23:16-25

16He shall live with you in your midst, in the place which he shall choose in one of your 1towns where it pleases him; 2you shall not mistreat him.

17“3None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, 4nor shall any of the sons of Israel be a cult prostitute. 18You shall not bring the hire of a harlot or the wages of a 56dog into the house of the Lord your God for any votive offering, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.

19“7You shall not charge interest to your 8countrymen: interest on money, food, or anything that may be loaned at interest. 209You may charge interest to a foreigner, but to your 10countrymen you shall not charge interest, so that 11the Lord your God may bless you in all 12that you undertake in the land which you are about to enter to 13possess.

21“14When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it, for it would be sin in you, 15and the Lord your God will surely require it of you. 22However, if you refrain from vowing, it would not be sin in you. 23You shall be careful to perform what goes out from your lips, just as you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God, what you have 16promised.

24“When you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat grapes 17until you are fully satisfied, but you shall not put any in your 18basket.

25“19When you enter your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not wield a sickle in your neighbor’s standing grain.
