DE-24:4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take

his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination
before the
LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD
thy God giveth
thee [for] an inheritance.

his house to fetch his pledge.
DE-24:11 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost
lend shall
bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
DE-24:12 And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with
his pledge:
DE-24:13 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 LORD thy God.
DE-24:14 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:
DE-24:15 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 LORD, and it be sin unto thee.
DE-24:16 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.

[nor] of the
fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:

Egypt, and the
LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to
do this thing.
DE-24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and

thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

over the
boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the
widow.

shalt not glean
[it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless,
and for the
widow.

the land of
Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
