*
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy ,
whether he be of thy brethren ,
or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates sha #
ar #:
*
At his day thou shalt give him his hire ,
neither shall the sun go down upon it ;
for he is poor ,
and setteth his heart upon it :
lest he cry against thee unto the LORD ,
and it be sin unto thee .
*
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children ,
neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers :
every man shall be put to death for his own sin .
*
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger ,
nor of the fatherless ;
nor take #
a widows raiment to pledge :
*
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt ,
and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence :
therefore I command thee to do this thing .
*
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field ,
and hast forgot a sheaf in the field ,
thou shalt not go again to fetch it :
it shall be for the stranger ,
for the fatherless ,
and for the widow :
that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands .
*
When thou beatest thine olive tree ,
thou shalt not go over the boughs again :
it shall be for the stranger ,
for the fatherless ,
and for the widow .
*
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard ,
thou shalt not glean it afterward :
it shall be for the stranger ,
for the fatherless ,
and for the widow .
*
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt :
therefore I command thee to do this thing .
