Deuteronomy 23:19-25 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

19. “You shall not charge your brother interest on money, interest on food, or interest on anything that one could lend on interest.

20. You may lend on interest to the foreigner, but to your countryman you may not lend on interest, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all your undertakings in the land where you are going, in order to take possession of it.

21. “When you make a vow to Yahweh your God, you shall not postpone fulfillment of it, for certainly Yahweh your God shall require it from you and if postponed you will incur guilt.

22. And if you refrain from vowing, you shall not incur guilt.

23. The utterance of your lips you must perform diligently just as you have vowed freely to Yahweh your God whatever it was that you promised with your mouth.

24. “When you come into the vineyard of your neighbor, then you may eat grapes as you please and until you are full, but you shall not put any into your container.

25. “When you come into the standing grain of your neighbor, then you may pluck ears with your hand, but you may not swing a sickle among the standing grain of your neighbor.”
