10
When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad
unto thee.
12
And if the man
be
poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13
In any case thou shalt
deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and
bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the L
ORD
thy God.
14
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant
that is
poor and needy,
whether he be
of thy brethren,
or of thy strangers that
are
in thy land within thy gates:
15
At his day thou shalt give
him
his hire,
neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he
is
poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against
thee unto the L
ORD
, and it be sin unto thee.
16
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children,
neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own
sin.
17
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger,
nor
of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s
raiment to pledge:
18
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the L
ORD
thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
19
When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou
shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that
the L
ORD
thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20
When thou beatest thine olive
tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for
the widow.
21
When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean
it
afterward: it
shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22
And thou shalt remember that thou
wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
CHAPTER 25
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that
the judges
may judge
them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
2
And it shall be, if the wicked
man
be
worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his
face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
3
Forty stripes he may give him,
and
not exceed:
lest,
if
he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem
vile unto thee.
4
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out
the corn.
5
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall
not marry without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him
to wife, and perform the duty of an husband’s brother unto her.
6
And it shall be,
that
the firstborn
which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother
which is
dead, that his name be not put
out of Israel.
7
And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up
to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a
name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
8
Then the elders of his city
