Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.

22 Yf thou shalt leue vowinge, it shalbe no synne vnto the: But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty.
23 but that which is once gone out off thy lippes, thou must kepe and doo, accordynge as thou hast vowed vnto the Lorde thy god a frewilloffrynge whiche thou hast spoken with thy mouth.

If you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pick kernels with your hands, but you must not put a sickle to their standing grain.
