Deuteronomy 24:10-22 - Consideration For People In Need

¹⁰ When thou lendest thy neighbour a loan of anything, thou shalt not enter into his house to secure his pledge: ¹¹ outside, shalt thou stand, and the man to whom thou art lending, shall bring forth unto thee his pledge outside, ¹² And, if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep in his pledge: ¹³ thou shalt, restore, to him the pledge at the going in of the sun, so shall he sleep in his own mantle, and bless thee, - and, unto thee, shall it be righteous-ness before Yahweh thy God.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, - of thy brethren or of thy sojourners that are in thy land, within thy gates; ¹⁵ for his day, shalt thou give his hire neither shall the sun, go in upon it, for, poor, he is, and, unto it, is he lifting up his soul, - lest he cry out against thee, unto Yahweh, and it be, in thee a sin.

¹⁶ Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor shall sons, be put to death for fathers, - every man, for his own sin, shall he put to death. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the sojourner or the fatherless, - neither shalt thou take in pledge the garment of a widow; ¹⁸ so shalt thou remember that, a servant, becamest thou in Egypt, and that Yahweh thy God, redeemed thee, from thence, - therefore, am I commanding thee to do this thing.

¹⁹ When thou cuttest down thy harvest in thy field and forgettest a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to fetch it, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, shall it belong, - that Yahweh thy God, may bless thee, in all the Work of thy hands. ²⁰ When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not glean after thee, - to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong, ²¹ When thou cuttest off the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not go about picking after thee, - to the sojourner to the fatherless and to the widow, shall it belong: ²² so shalt thou remember that a servant, becamest thou in the land of Egypt, - therefore, am I commending thee to do this thing.
