Verse
Exodus - ch 22 v 21 - 31
- "You shall not wrong an alien, neither shall you oppress him, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
- "You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child.
- If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
- and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
- "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
- If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,
- for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.
- "You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
- "You shall not delay to offer from your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. "You shall give the firstborn of your sons to me.
- You shall do likewise with your cattle and with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother, then on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
- "You shall be holy men to me, therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by animals in the field. You shall cast it to the dogs.
