Deuteronomy 24:14–22

¹⁴“^aYou shall not oppress a hired person who is afflicted and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of your sojourners who is in your land within your gates.

¹⁵“^aYou shall give him his wages on his day ¹before the sun goes down, for he is afflicted and sets his soul on it, so that ^bhe will not cry against you to Yahweh and it become sin in you.

¹⁶“^aFathers shall not be put to death ¹for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death ²for their fathers; each shall be put to death for his own sin.

¹⁷“^aYou shall not pervert the justice ¹due a sojourner or ²an orphan, nor ^btake a widow’s garment in pledge.

¹⁸“But you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt and that Yahweh your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

¹⁹“^aWhen 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 ^bfor the sojourner, for the ¹orphan, and for the widow, in order that Yahweh your God ^cmay bless you in all the work of your hands.

²⁰“^aWhen you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs after you finish; it shall be ^bfor the sojourner, for the ¹orphan, and for the widow.

²¹“When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it after you finish; it shall be for the sojourner, for the ¹orphan, and for the widow.

²²“And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
