Deuteronomy 23:17-25

17Let him dwell with you in your midst, in the place he chooses within one of your town gates—the one that is good for him. You are not to mistreat him.

18“None of the daughters of Israel is to be a cult prostitute, nor any of the sons of Israel a cult prostitute.

19You are not to bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the House of Adonai your God for any vow, for both of these are detestable to Adonai your God.

20“You are not to charge excessive interest to your brother—on money, food or anything that may be loaned for interest.

21To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you are not to charge interest, so that Adonai your God may bless you in every undertaking of your hand on the land you are going in to possess.

22“When you make a vow to Adonai your God, you are not to delay to make good on it—for Adonai your God will certainly require it of you, and you would have sin on you.

23But if you refrain from making a vow, you would not have sin on you.

24Whatever comes out of your lips you are to take care to do, since you have vowed to Adonai your God a freewill offering that you have promised with your mouth.

25“When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes; but you are not to put any in your basket.
