Deuteronomy 24:12-21

12And if the manH376 be poorH6041, thou shalt not sleepH7901 with his pledgeH5667: 13In any caseH7725 thou shalt deliverH7725 him the pledgeH5667 againH7725 when the sunH8121 goeth downH935, that he may sleepH7901 in his own raimentH8008, and blessH1288 thee: and it shall be righteousnessH6666 unto thee beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430.

14Thou shalt not oppressH6231 an hired servantH7916 that is poorH6041 and needyH34, whether he be of thy brethrenH251, or of thy strangersH1616 that are in thy landH776 within thy gatesH8179: 15At his dayH3117 thou shalt giveH5414 him his hireH7939, neither shall the sunH8121 go downH935 upon it; for he is poorH6041, and settethH5375 his heartH5315 upon it: lest he cryH7121 against thee unto YhwhH3068, and it be sinH2399 unto thee.1 16The fathersH1 shall not be put to deathH4191 for the childrenH1121, neither shall the childrenH1121 be put to deathH4191 for the fathersH1: every manH376 shall be put to deathH4191 for his own sinH2399.

17Thou shalt not pervertH5186 the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, nor of the fatherlessH3490; nor takeH2254 a widow’sH490 raimentH899 to pledgeH2254: 18But thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondmanH5650 in EgyptH4714, And YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee thence: therefore I commandH6680 thee to doH6213 this thingH1697.

19When thou cuttest downH7114 thine harvestH7105 in thy fieldH7704, and hast forgotH7911 a sheafH6016 in the fieldH7704, thou shalt not go againH7725 to fetchH3947 it: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490: that YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 may blessH1288 thee in all the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. 20When thou beatestH2251 thine olive treeH2132, thou shalt not go over the boughsH6286 againH310: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490.2 21When thou gatherestH1219 the grapes of thy vineyardH3754, thou shalt not gleanH5953 it afterwardH310: it shall be for the strangerH1616, for the fatherlessH3490, and for the widowH490.3
