Translation commentary on Deuteronomy 23:24

Your neighbor’s vineyard: the neighbor here, as usual, is a fellow Israelite, not necessarily someone who lives next door.

For vineyard see 6.11.

Your vessel: this is a container of some sort; it could be a bowl, or a basket, or a bag—anything that would hold grapes.
