Deuteronomy 24:10-22 - Consideration For People In Need
10 When thou shalt lend to thy friend the loan of any thing, thou shalt not go to his house to exchange his pledge: 11 Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom was lent to him, shall bring out to thee the pledge without 12 And if the man be poor, he shall not sleep with his pledge. 13 Turning back, thou shalt turn back to him the pledge as the sun went down; he lay down in his garment and blessed thee; and to thee shall be justice before Jehovah thy God.
14 Thou shalt not oppress the poor and needy hireling from thy brethren, or from thy stranger which is in thy land in thy gates. 15 In his day thou shalt give his hire, and the sun shall not go down upon it, for he is poor, and he lifted up his soul to it; and he will cry against thee to Jehovah, and it was sin in thee.
16 The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers: a man shall die in his sin. 17 Thou shalt not turn away the judgment of the stranger, the fatherless; and thou shalt not take as a pledge the garment of the widow. 18 And remember that thou wert a servant in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God will redeem thee from thence; for this I commend thee to do this word.
19 When thou shalt reap thy harvest in thy field and didst forget a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not turn back to take it: to the stranger and to the orphan and to the widow shall it be; so that Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all the doing of thy hands. 20 When thou shalt beat thine olive thou shalt not go over the boughs after thee: to the stranger, to the orphan, and to the widow it shall be. 21 And when thou shalt gather thy vineyard thou shalt not glean after thee; to the stranger, and to the orphan, and to the widow it shall be. 22 And remember that thou wert a servant in the land of Egypt: for this I command thee to do this word. shall be to thee, so that thy days shall be prolonged upon the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee.
