17“1NoneH3808 of the daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 shall be a cultH6945 prostituteH6945, 2norH3808 shall anyH4480 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 be a cultH6945 prostituteH6945. 18You shall not bringH935 the hireH868 of a harlotH2181 or the wagesH4242 of a 34dogH3611 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 for anyH3605 votiveH5088 offeringH5088, for bothH1571H8147 of these are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430.
19“5You shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391 to your 6countrymenH251: interestH5392 on moneyH3701, foodH400, or anythingH3605 that may be loanedH5391 at interestH5391. 207You may chargeH5391 interestH5391 to a foreignerH5237, but to your 8countrymenH251 you shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391, soH4616 that 9the LordH3068 your GodH430 may blessH1288 you in allH3605 10that you undertakeH3027H4916 in the landH776 whichH834 you are about to enterH935 to 11possessH3423.
21“12WhenH3588 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, you shall not delayH309 to payH7999 it, for it would be sinH2399 in you, 13and the LordH3068 your GodH430 will surelyH1875 requireH1875 it of you. 22However, ifH3588 you refrainH2308 from vowingH5087, it would not be sinH2399 in you. 23You shall be carefulH8104 to performH6213 whatH4161 goesH4161 out from your lipsH8193, justH3152 as you have voluntarilyH5071 vowedH5087 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, whatH834 you have 14promisedH1696.
24“WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 vineyardH3754, then you may eatH398 grapesH6025 15until you are fullyH7648 satisfiedH7648, but you shall not putH5414 any in your 16basketH3627.
25“17WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054, then you may pluckH6998 the headsH4425 with your handH3027, but you shall not wieldH5130 a sickleH2770 in your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054.
