Deuteronomio 23:23 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:23

That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
perform
Which were in their power to perform and lawful to do; and this is observed to make them watchful and cautious, and not be rash in making vows, since, when once they were made, an exact and rigid performance of them was expected; see ( Ecclesiastes 5:4 Ecclesiastes 5:5 ) ;

[even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the Lord
thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth;
be it what it will, as to the matter of it, it was to be paid, and in the manner as it was vowed and promised. Aben Ezra observes, that every vow is a freewill offering, but not every freewill offering a vow; the Targum of Jonathan enumerates the several things to be performed, sin offerings, trespass offerings, burnt offerings, and oblations of holy things, and drink offerings, and gifts of the house of the sanctuary, and alms to the poor.

Deuteronomio 23:23 In-Context

21 Quando avrai fatto un voto all’Eterno, al tuo Dio, non tarderai ad adempirlo; poiché l’Eterno, il tuo Dio, te ne domanderebbe certamente conto, e tu saresti colpevole
22 ma se ti astieni dal far voti, non commetti peccato.
23 Mantieni e compi la parola uscita dalle tue labbra; fa’ secondo il voto che avrai fatto volontariamente all’Eterno, al tuo Dio, e che la tua bocca avrà pronunziato.
24 Quando entrerai nella vigna del tuo prossimo, potrai a tuo piacere mangiar dell’uva a sazietà, ma non ne metterai nel tuo paniere.
25 Quando entrerai nelle biade del tuo prossimo, potrai coglierne delle spighe con la mano; ma non metterai la falce nelle biade del tuo prossimo.
