For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth,

For it says in the law of Moses, It is not right to keep the ox from taking the grain when he is crushing it. Is it for the oxen that God is giving orders?

διοτι εν τω νομω του Μωυσεως ειναι γεγραμμενον· Δεν θελεις εμφραξει το στομα βοος αλωνιζοντος. Μηπως μελει τον Θεον περι των βοων;

For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
