Verse
Exodus - ch 22 v 21 - 31
- `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.
- `Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;
- if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;
- and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
- `If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury;
- if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:
- for it alone is his covering, it `is' his garment for his skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I `am' gracious.
- `God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people thou dost not curse.
- `Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me;
- so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me.
- `And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it.
