Verse
Exodus - ch 22 v 21 - 31
- Thou shalt not molest a stranger, nor afflict him: for yourselves also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
- You shall not hurt a widow or an orphan.
- If you hurt them they will cry out to me, and I will hear their cry:
- And my rage shall be enkindled, and I will strike you with the sword, and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
- If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor, that dwelleth with thee, thou shalt not be hard upon them as an extortioner, nor oppress them with usuries.
- If thou take of thy neighbour a garment in pledge, thou shalt give it him again before sunset.
- For that same is the only thing wherewith he is covered, the clothing of his body, neither hath he any other to sleep in: if he cry to me, I will hear him, because I am compassionate.
- Thou shalt not speak ill of the gods, and the prince of thy people thou shalt not curse.
- Thou shalt not delay to pay thy tithes and thy firstfruits: thou shalt give the firstborn of thy sons to me.
- Thou shalt do the same with the firstborn of thy oxen also and sheep: seven days let it be with its dam, the eighth day thou shalt give it to me.
- You shall be holy men to me: the flesh that beasts have tasted of before, you shall not eat, but shall cast it to the dogs.
