Deuteronomy 23:15-25

New International Version

Miscellaneous Laws

¹⁵ If a slave has taken refuge^(A) with you, do not hand them over to their master.^{(B) 16} Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress^(C) them.

¹⁷ No Israelite man^(D) or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.^{(E) 18} You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute^[a] into the house of the Lord your God to pay any vow, because the Lord your God detests them both.^(F)

¹⁹ Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest.^{(G) 20} You may charge a foreigner^(H) interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the Lord your God may bless^(I) you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.

²¹ If you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not be slow to pay it,^(J) for the Lord your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.^{(K) 22} But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.^{(L) 23} Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the Lord your God with your own mouth.

²⁴ If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat all the grapes you want, but do not put any in your basket. ²⁵ If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.^(M)
