And when thou sittest down, thou shalt dig round about, and with the earth that is dug up thou shalt cover 14That which thou art eased of: (for the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies to thee:) and let thy camp be holy, and let no uncleanness appear therein, lest he go away from thee. 15Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant that is fled to thee. 16He shall dwell with thee in the place that shall please him, and shall rest in one of thy cities: give him no trouble. 17There shall be no whore among the daughters of Israel, nor whoremonger among the sons of Israel. 18Thou shalt not offer the hire of a strumpet, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord thy God, whatsoever it be that thou hast vowed: because both these are an abomination to the Lord thy God. 19Thou shalt not lend to thy brother money to usury, nor corn, nor any other thing: 20But to the stranger. To thy brother thou shalt lend that which he wanteth, without usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all thy works in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess. 21When thou hast made a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not delay to pay it: because the Lord thy God will require it. And if thou delay, it shall be imputed to thee for a sin. 22If thou wilt not promise, that shalt be without sin. 23But that which is once gone out of thy lips, thou shalt observe, and shalt do as thou hast promised to the Lord thy God, and hast spoken with thy own will and with thy own mouth. 24Going into thy neighbour's vineyard, thou mayst eat as many grapes as thou pleasest: but must carry none out with thee: 25If thou go into thy friend's corn, thou mayst break the ears, and rub them in thy hand: but not reap them with a sickle. ‹Previous chapterDeuteronomy 22Next chapterDeuteronomy 24›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsDeuteronomy 23 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
