Is it stealing to go into your neighbor's yard or field and eat the food from their trees, vines, or field?

Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 46 Notes For Deuteronomy: No (Deuteronomy 23:24-25). As long as you just eat to your satisfaction and don't attempt to take any extra away with you, it is permissible and not considered stealing. This is a law of mercy for the poor, fatherless, and widow who have nothing and need some way to eat and not starve. This is what Yahushua and his disciples were doing in Matthew 12:1, Mark 2:23, and Luke 6:1.
