Deuteronomy 23:24-25 - The Pulpit Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:24-25 -

In the vineyard or cornfield of a neighbor they might eat to appease hunger, but no store of grapes or of grain might be carried away. At thine own pleasure ; literally, according to thy soul , i . e . desire or appetite (cf. Deuteronomy 14:26 ). Pluck the ears with thine hand (cf. Matthew 12:1 ; Luke 6:1 ). Among the Arabs of the present day the right of a hungry person to pluck ears of corn in a field and eat the grains is still recognized (Robinson, 'Bib. Res.,' 2:192; Thomson, 'Land and the Book,' 2:510).
