Deuteronomy 25:4

ما معنى هذا؟
This verse says not to stop an ox from eating while it's working to separate grain from the husks. God is speaking through Moses, and the key message is about fairness and allowing animals to benefit from their labor.
شرح للأطفال
Imagine you're helping your friend clean up their room, and they don't let you play with any of your toys. That wouldn't be fair, right? This verse is like that but for oxen. It says that when an ox is working to get the corn, it should be allowed to eat some too.
السياق التاريخي
Moses wrote this verse as part of the laws given to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land. It was around 1400-1200 BCE. The audience was primarily farmers and herders who had to care for their animals while also managing their crops.

In a modern context, think about a worker at a food processing plant. Just like the ox should be allowed to eat some of the grain it's processing, the workers should be fairly compensated for their labor and given breaks to eat and rest.
