Deuteronomy 24:17-22

17“1You shall not pervert the justice 2due a stranger or 3an orphan, nor 4seize a widow’s garment as a 5pledge. 18But you are to remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

19“6When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you are not to go back to get it; it shall belong 7to the stranger, the 8orphan, and to the widow, in order that the Lord your God 9may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 10When you beat the olives off your olive tree, you are not to search through the branches 11again; that shall be left 12for the stranger, the 13orphan, and for the widow.

21“When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you are not to 14go over it again; that shall be left for the stranger, the 15orphan, and the widow. 22And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
