Bits of Torah Truths – Paul Teaches Torah, Don’t Muzzle the Ox – Episode 128
1 Timothy 5:18
יח הֵן הַכָּתוּב אוֹמֵר׃ ״לֹא תַחְסֹם שׁוֹר בְּדִישׁוֹ״, (דברים כה׳ ד׳) וְגַם ״הַפּוֹעֵל רָאוּי לִשְׂכָרוֹ״. (במדבר יח׳ לא׳)
1 Timothy 5:18
18 For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing,” and “The laborer is worthy of his wages.” (NASB)
Deuteronomy 25:4
4 “You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing. (NASB)
Here Paul uses the Torah as an authoritative text in 1 Timothy 5:18, to explain that a workman is worthy of his wages. The idea is that honor should be give where it is due, and even the Torah provides an example for animals even being given wages for their work in Deuteronomy 25:4. The Torah has not passed away.
