23:24 When you enter the vineyard of your neighbor you may eat as many grapes as you please, 1 but you must not take away any in a container. 2 23:25 When you go into the ripe grain fields of your neighbor you may pluck off the kernels with your hand, 3 but you must not use a sickle on your neighbor’s ripe grain.
1 tnHeb “grapes according to your appetite, your fullness.”
2 tnHeb “in your container”; NAB, NIV “your basket.”
3 sn For the continuation of these practices into NT times see Matt 12:1-8; Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5.
