This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Making promises to God

Deu 23:21–25

21 When you make a vow to your god Yahweh, don’t put off fulfilling it, because he will hold you accountable and not doing it would count as disobeying him. 22 However of course, if you don’t make any vows, then you won’t be guilty, 23 but if you’ve spoken your promise out loud to your god Yahweh, then you’re obligated to keep it.

24 If you’re walking through someone else’s vineyard, you can eat as many grapes as you like, but you mustn’t pick any to take away in a container. 25 Similarly, if you’re going through someone else’s field of grain, you can crunch a few kernels, but you mustn’t cut off any of the stalks.
