Deu 25:4 — Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

shalt not   In Judea, as well as in Egypt, Greece, and Italy, they made use of beeves to tread out the corn; and the same mode of threshing still obtains in Arabia, Barbary, and other eastern countries, to the present day. The sheaves lie open and expanded on the threshing floors, and the cattle continually move round them, and thus tread out the grain. The natives of Aleppo still religiously observe the ancient humane practice, inculcated by this law, of permitting the oxen to remain unmuzzled when treading out the corn.
muzzle   Pro 12:10; 1Cr 9:9,10; 1Ti 5:17,18
treadeth out   Heb. thresheth. Isa 28:27; Hsa 10:11
