* "
When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort ,
you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge .
*
You shall stand outside ,
and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you .
*
And if he is a poor man ,
you shall not sleep in his pledge ;
*
when the sun goes down ,
you shall restore to him the pledge that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you ;
and it shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God .
* "
You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy ,
whether he is one of your brethren or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns ;
*
you shall give him his hire on the day he earns it ,
before the sun goes down (
for he is poor ,
and sets his heart upon it );
lest he cry against you to the LORD ,
and it be sin in you .
* "
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children ,
nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers ;
every man shall be put to death for his own sin .
* "
You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner or to the fatherless ,
or take a widow '
s garment in pledge ;
*
but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you from there ;
therefore I command you to do this .
* "
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 ;
that the LORD your God may 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 .
*
You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt ;
therefore I command you to do this .
