Tree of Life Version
Deuteronomy 24:12-21
12If he is a poor man, you are not to sleep with his pledge .
13You must certainly restore the pledge to him when the sun sets, so that he may sleep in his coat and bless you—and it is to be righteousness for you before Adonai your God.
14“You are not to oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is from your brothers or the outsiders in your land within your town gates.
15On that day you are to give him his wages—the sun is not to set on it—for he is poor and sets his heart on it. Otherwise he will cry out against you to Adonai, and you will have sin on you.
16“Fathers are not to be put to death for children, and children are not to be put to death for fathers—each one is to be put to death for his own sin.
17You are not to twist justice for an outsider or orphan, and you are not to take as collateral a widow’s clothing.
18But you are to remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Adonai your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
19“When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you are not to turn back to get it. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow—in order that Adonai your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20When you beat your olive tree, you are not to search through the branches afterward. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow.
21When you harvest your vineyard, you are not to pick over it afterward. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow.
