Field Workers. Immoral Wives.
Field Workers
Moshe now teaches them that during the time of the grape harvest, someone who is working in a vineyard is permitted to eat as many grapes as they'd like (so long as it's not excessive) on their bosses' property, however they are not allowed to put any into their container.
If one is working in a grain field where the grain as not yet been harvested, one is permitted to pick the ears by hand but not use a sickle to take any.
Immoral Wives
If a man marries a woman and has relations with her and he discovers that she has behaved immorally, he is obligated to divorce her. He should not wait on this matter lest he find her favorable and want to stay married to her, as it is not right that a man stay married to such a woman.
If this woman then goes on to marry another man, this second man is considered of lower stature than the first for having married a woman like this.
Eventually this second husband will come to hate her as well, or else he will die before her.
Her first husband is not permitted to ever remarry her due to her status as a sotah (i.e. a woman suspected of adultery) or having actually been convicted of such.
Ki Teitzei, 5th Aliya
