God said, The camp must be clean. I walk in the middle of your camp to keep you safe.

If a slave ran away from a cruel master and came to you, let him live with you. Do not send him back. If you lend money to your brother, do not ask for extra.

If you make a promise to God, keep it. You do not have to promise. But if you do, do what you said. In a neighbor's field you may eat some grapes. But do not fill a basket.

“You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to Yahweh your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.”

Faithful in Word and Deed

Name Date

Read the Story

Moses said Israel must not hate an Edomite, because he is their brother, or an Egyptian, because they lived in his land. The camp must be kept clean, because God walked in the middle of it to save them.

An escaped slave who fled to Israel must not be handed back to his master. He could live wherever he chose, and they must not oppress him. Israel must not charge interest to a brother.

If they made a vow to God, they must not be slow to pay it. It was not a sin to make no vow, but what came out of their lips they must do. A traveler could eat grapes or pluck grain in a neighbor's field, but not take any away.

“You shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Whatever you have vowed to Yahweh your God as a free will offering, which you have promised with your mouth, you must do.”

Deuteronomy 23 · Grade 4

Holy Camp, Honest Words

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 23 begins with rules about the assembly, the gathered people of Israel. Ammonites and Moabites were excluded because they would not give Israel bread and water and hired Balaam to curse them, though God turned the curse into a blessing. Edomites and Egyptians, however, must not be hated.

The camp was to be kept clean, for God walked in the middle of it. A runaway slave could not be returned to his master, a law unlike the nations around Israel. Israel must not lend at interest to a brother.

Vows must be kept. It was no sin to refrain from vowing, but once spoken, a vow to God must be fulfilled. Jesus taught His followers to let their yes be yes. Finally, the hungry could eat from a neighbor's field, but not harvest it for themselves. Jesus' disciples did this when they picked grain (Mark 2:23).

Deuteronomy 23 · Grade 5

What Has Gone Out of Your Lips

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 23 regulates membership in the assembly of Yahweh. Ammon and Moab were barred because they refused Israel bread and water and hired Balaam to curse them, but Yahweh your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because He loved you. Yet Edomites were brothers and Egyptians had been hosts, so they must not be despised. Ruth the Moabitess later shows that faith could bring outsiders into God's people.

Because God walked in the middle of the camp to save and give victory, the camp must be holy and clean. In striking contrast to ancient law codes, a slave who escaped to Israel must not be returned or oppressed. Israel must not lend at interest to a brother, so that the poor would not be crushed by debt.

Vows were voluntary, but binding once made: you shall observe and do that which has gone out of your lips. Jesus later taught that our ordinary words should be trustworthy without oaths (Matthew 5:37). The chapter ends with neighborly hospitality. A traveler could eat his fill of grapes or pluck ears of grain by hand, but not use a basket or sickle. Generosity and honesty went together.

Show What You Know

  1. Why did God turn Balaam's curse into a blessing?

  2. Who shows that faith could bring outsiders into God's people?

  3. How did the escaped slave law contrast with ancient law codes?

  4. What did Jesus teach about ordinary words?

  5. What could a traveler not use in a neighbor's field?
