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 earningsH868 of a prostituteH2181 or the moneyH4242 for a 34dogH3611 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 as payment for anyH3605 vowedH5088 offeringH5088, becauseH3588 bothH1571H8147 of these are an abominationH8441 to the LordH3068 your GodH430.

19“5You are not to chargeH5391 interestH5391 to your countrymenH251: interestH5392 on moneyH3701, foodH400, or anythingH3605H1697 that may be loanedH5391 onH5391 interestH5391. 206You may chargeH5391 interestH5391 to a foreignerH5237, but to your countrymenH251 you shall not chargeH5391 interestH5391, soH4616 thatH4616 7the LordH3068 your GodH430 may blessH1288 you in allH3605 8that you undertakeH3027H4916 in the landH776 whichH834 you are about to enterH935 to 9possessH3423.

21“10WhenH3588 you makeH5087 a vowH5088 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, you shall not delayH309 to payH7999 it, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 will certainlyH1875 requireH1875 it of you, and it will be a sinH2399 11for you. 22However, ifH3588 you refrainH2308 from makingH5087 vowsH5087, it will not be a sinH2399 12for you. 23You shall beH8104 carefulH8104 and performH6213 whatH4161 goesH4161 outH4161 of your lipsH8193, sinceH3512 inH3512 factH3512 you have vowedH5087 a 13voluntaryH5071 offeringH5071 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, whateverH834 you have 14promisedH1696.

24“WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 vineyardH3754, you may eatH398 grapesH6025 15until you are satisfiedH7648; but you are not to putH5414 any in your 16basketH3627.

25“17WhenH3588 you enterH935 your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054, you may pluckH6998 the headsH4425 ofH4425 grainH4425 with your handH3027, but you are not to 18useH5130 a sickleH2770 on your neighbor’sH7453 standingH7054 grainH7054.
