* When you lend your brother anything , you shall not go into his house to get his pledge . * You shall stand outside , and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you . * And if the man is poor , you shall not sleep with his pledge . * You shall return and bring the pledge back to him when the sun goes down , that he may sleep in his own garment and bless you ; and it shall be righteousness in you before Jehovah your God . * You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy , whether one of your brethren or one of the sojourners who is in your land within your gates . * Each day you shall give him his wages , and not let the sun go down on it , for he is poor and is sustaining his soul with it ; lest he cry out against you unto Jehovah , and it be sin in you . * Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons , nor shall the sons be put to death for their fathers ; every man shall be put to death for his own sin . * You shall not pervert justice due the sojourner or the fatherless , nor take a widow ’s garment as a pledge . * But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt , and Jehovah your God redeemed you from there ; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing . * When you reap your harvest in your field , and have forgotten a sheaf in the field , you shall not go back to get it ; it shall be for the sojourner , the fatherless , and the widow ; and Jehovah your God shall bless you in all the work of your hands . * When you beat your olive trees , you shall not go over the boughs again ; it shall be for the sojourner , the fatherless , and the widow . * When you gather the grapes of your vineyard , you shall not glean it afterward ; it shall be for the sojourner , the fatherless , and the widow . * And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt ; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing .
