Contextual Overview

¹⁵ If an escaped slave comes to you, do not hand over the slave to his master. ¹⁶ Let the slave live with you anywhere he likes, in any town he chooses. Do not mistreat him. ¹⁷ No Israelite man or woman must ever become a temple prostitute. ¹⁸ Do not bring a male or female prostitute's pay to the Temple of the Lord your God to pay what you have promised to the Lord , because the Lord your God hates prostitution. ¹⁹ If you loan your fellow Israelites money or food or anything else, don't make them pay back more than you loaned them. ²⁰ You may charge foreigners, but not fellow Israelites.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

then thou mayest: Matthew 12:1, Matthew 12:2, Mark 2:23, Luke 6:1, Luke 6:2

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn to cut it down and carry any of it off; which would have been an unjust thing.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

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.
