“Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.”
You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain — the ox laboring in the harvest should be free to eat; restraining it from the fruit of its labor is unjust. Paul quotes this law in 1 Corinthians 9:9 regarding ministers' right to support: 'Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Or does he not speak entirely for our sake?'
