“And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.”
Has anyone planted a vineyard but not yet enjoyed its produce? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another be first to enjoy its produce — the second exemption (the unenjoyed vineyard) reflects the principle that agricultural investment should produce fruit for the investor; death in battle would deprive the planter of the blessing anticipated from his labor.
