but it shall be, when evening comes, he shall bathe himself in water. When the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.

You may charge a foreigner interest; but you shall not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in to possess it.

When you vow a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not be slack to pay it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Hatei, lawk na kam hoehpawiteh, yon mahoeh.
But if you refrain from making a vow, it shall be no sin in you.
23 Na pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lawk hah na kâhruetcuet han. Na BAWIPA Cathut koe nama lungtho lahoi na kam e patetlah na sak han.
You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to the LORD your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.

When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, then you may eat your fill of grapes at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your container.

When you come into your neighbor’s standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not use a sickle on your neighbor’s standing grain.
