[Sifrei Devarim 266:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/266:1)

(דברים כג כה) **כִּי תָבֹא בְּכֶרֶם רֵעֶךָ**, יָכוֹל לְעוֹלָם? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **וְאֶל כֶּלְיְךָ לֹא תִתֵּן**, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאַתָּה נוֹתֵן לְתוֹךְ כֶּלְיוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבַּיִת.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 23:25) "If you come into the vineyard of your neighbor, you may eat grapes so as to satisfy your soul": "If you come into the vineyard of your neighbor": I might think (that the verse speaks of) any man (who enters the vineyard); it is, therefore, written (*Ibid*.) "but into *your* vessel you shall not pace them." (You *shall* place them, however,) into the vessels of the *owner*, (for whom you are working).

**רֵעֶךָ**, פְּרָט לַאֲחֵרִים. **רֵעֶךָ**, פְּרָט לַגָּבוֹהַּ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"your *neighbor*": but not a gentile. "your *neighbor*": but not the Temple.


###### Sifrei Devarim 266:3
[Sifrei Devarim 266:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/266:3)

**וְאָכַלְתָּ**, וְלֹא מְמַצֵּץ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"you may eat," but not suck (out the wine and discard the rest, [for this would result in his eating a greater number of grapes]).


###### Sifrei Devarim 266:4
[Sifrei Devarim 266:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/266:4)

**עֲנָבִים**, וְלֹא תְּאֵנִים. מִכָּן אַתָּה אוֹמֵר: הָיָה עוֹשֶׂה בַּתְּאֵנִים לֹא יֹאכַל בָּעֲנָבִים, בָּעֲנָבִים לֹא יֹאכַל בַּתְּאֵנִים, אֲבָל מוֹנֵעַ אֶת עַצְמוֹ עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לִמְקוֹם הַיָּפוֹת וְאוֹכֵל.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"grapes": and not figs — whence it was ruled: If he were working with (i.e., picking) grapes, he should not eat figs; if he were working with figs, he should not eat grapes. But he should restrain himself until he reaches the choice ones (and then eat).

[Sifrei Devarim 266:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/266:5)

רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר חִסְמָא אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן שֶׁלֹּא יֹאכַל פּוֹעֵל יוֹתֵר עַל שְׂכָרוֹ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **כְּנַפְשְׁךָ**. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: **שָׂבְעֶךָ** מְלַמֵּד שֶׁאוֹכֵל פּוֹעֵל יוֹתֵר עַל שְׂכָרוֹ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
R. Elazar b. Chasma says: Whence is it derived that a worker may not eat more than his wage? From "so as to sate your *soul*." And the sages say: "so as to *sate*," which implies that a worker may eat even more than his wage.
