25. If you lend money to my people who are poor among you, don’t be a creditor and charge them interest.
26. If you take a piece of clothing from someone as a security deposit, you should return it before the sun goes down.

28. Don’t say a curse against God, and don’t curse your people’s chief.
29. Don’t delay offering the produce of your vineyards and winepresses. Give me your oldest son.
30. Do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. They should stay with their mother for seven days. On the eighth day, you should give them to me.
31. You are holy people to me. Don’t eat any meat killed by wild animals out in the field. Throw it to the dogs instead.
