Deuteronomy 23:25

15-25 It is honourable to shelter and protect the weak, provided they are not wicked. Proselytes and converts to the truth, should be treated with particular tenderness, that they may have no temptation to return to the world. We cannot honour God with our substance, unless it be honestly and honourably come by. It must not only be considered what we give, but how we got it. Where the borrower gets, or hopes to get, it is just that the lender should share the gain; but to him that borrows for necessary food, pity must be showed. That which is gone out of thy lips, as a solemn and deliberate vow, must not be recalled, but thou shalt keep and perform it punctually and fully. They were allowed to pluck and eat of the corn or grapes that grew by the road side; only they must not carry any away. This law intimated what great plenty of corn and wine they should have in Canaan. It provided for...

Verse Deuteronomy 23:25. _THOU MAYEST PLUCK THE EARS WITH THINE HAND_] It was on the permission granted by this law that the disciples plucked the ears of corn, as related Matthew 12:1. This was both a considerate and humane law, and is no dishonour to the Jewish code....

WHEN THOU COMEST INTO THE STANDING CORN OF THY NEIGHBOUR,.... Passest through it to go to some other place, the road lying through it, as it often does through standing corn; so Christ and his disciples are said to go through the corn, Matthew 12:1; but Jarchi says this Scripture speaks of a workman also, and so the Targum of Jonathan, "when thou goest in to take thine hire according to work in thy neighbour's standing corn;'' but the other sense is best, and is confirmed and illustrated by the instance given, as well as best agrees with what follows: THEN THOU MAYEST PLUCK THE EARS WITH THINE HAND; the ears of wheat, and rub them, to separate the grain from the husk or beard, and eat it, as did the disciples of Christ; Luke 6:1; to satisfy hunger: but thou shall not move

_VER._ 24, 25. _WHEN THOU COMEST INTO THY NEIGHBOUR'S VINE-YARD,_ &C.— The rabbis understand this law in favour of poor labourers, who were hired to work in vineyards in the time of the vintage: for, if the very oxen were not to be muzzled whilst they trod out the corn, how much less ought the labourer to be debarred from eating of the fruits about which he laboured! There seems, however, no reason for restricting this indulgence to husbandmen; it may justly be enlarged to all travellers in the highway, whether Israelites or others, who had occasion to pass by a _vineyard_ or _field,_ and needed a refreshment. The disciples of our Saviour made use of this common right. See Matthew 12:1; Matthew 12:50....

(5) PARTAKING OF A NEIGHBOR'S CROP (Deuteronomy 23:24-25) 24 When thou comest into thy neighbor's vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 25 When thou comest into thy neighbor's standing grain, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing grain. THOUGHT QUESTIONS 23:24, 25 403. Why was this provision made? Consider two viewpoints. 404. Jesus-' disciples made use of this law. Cf. Matthew 12:1 ff.

Shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord] i.e. not merely as priests (see Leviticus 21:16) but as ordinary members of the nation of Israel, all of whom are 'holy unto the Lord.' The reference in this v. is probably to the self-mutilation practised by the devotees of certain heathen gods, and alluded to by St. Paul in Galatians 5:12 : cp. Deuteronomy 14:1....
