1 Corinthians 9:9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹God's Law that he gave to Moses says this: ‘Do not tie shut the mouth of your ox while it walks on your grain.’^[a]

But God's Law does not teach this only to help bulls.

9:9 See Deuteronomy 25:4. Farmers used a bull to walk on the wheat that they had cut. They did that to remove the seeds for food. Moses' Law said that the farmer must let the bull eat some of the seeds.
