Because they met you not with lechem and with mayim in the way, when ye came forth out of Mitzrayim; and because they hired against thee Balaam ben Beor from Petor in Aram Naharaim, to curse thee.
Nevertheless Hashem Eloheicha would not give heed unto Balaam; but Hashem Eloheicha turned the kelalah into a bracha unto thee, because Hashem Eloheicha loved thee.

When the machaneh (camp) goeth forth against thine enemies, then be shomer over thee against every wicked thing.
If there be among you any ish, that is not tahor (clean) by reason of a nocturnal occurrence, then shall he go outside the machaneh, he shall not come within the machaneh;
But it shall be, when erev cometh on, he shall wash himself with mayim; and when the shemesh is down, he shall come into the machaneh again.

Thou shalt have a place also outside the machaneh, whither thou shalt go forth outside;

וְיָתֵ֛ד SDBH a digging tool תִּהְיֶ֥ה And you must have לְךָ֖ עַל־ in אֲזֵנֶ֑ךָ SDBH your equipment וְהָיָה֙ so that בְּשִׁבְתְּךָ֣ SDBH when you relieve yourself ח֔וּץ SDBH . . . וְחָפַרְתָּ֣ה SDBH you can dig a hole בָ֔הּ וְשַׁבְתָּ֖ SDBH - וְכִסִּ֥יתָ SDBH and cover up אֶת־ SDBH - צֵאָתֶֽךָ׃ SDBH your excrement
And thou shalt have a shovel in addition to thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt relieve thyself outside, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

Thou shalt not bring the hire of a zonah, or the price of a kelev (male prostitute), into the Bais Hashem Eloheicha for any neder; for even both of these are to'avat Hashem Eloheicha.
Thou shalt not lend upon neshekh (interest) to thy brother; neshekh of kesef, neshekh of okhel, neshekh of any thing that is lent upon neshekh;
Unto a nokhri thou mayest lend upon neshekh; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon neshekh; that Hashem Eloheicha may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in ha'aretz whither thou goest to possess it.
When thou shalt vow a neder unto Hashem Eloheicha, thou shalt not delay to pay it; for Hashem Eloheicha will surely require it of thee; and it would be chet (sin) in thee.
22
וְכִ֥י But if תֶחְדַּ֖ל SDBH you refrain לִנְדֹּ֑ר SDBH from making a vow לֹֽא־ SDBH you will not יִהְיֶ֥ה be בְךָ֖ . . . חֵֽטְא׃ SDBH guilty of sin
But if thou shalt abstain from vowing, it shall be no chet in thee.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt be shomer over and perform; even a vow thou hast voluntarily vowed unto Hashem Eloheicha, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
When thou comest into thy neighbor's kerem (vineyard), then thou mayest eat thy fill of grapes at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

When thou comest into the standing grain of thy neighbor, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine yad; but thou shalt not use a sickle unto thy neighbor's standing grain [SEE MT 12:1; MK 2:23; LK 6:1 ON THE FACT THAT WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE L-RD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.T.N.].
