New Testament

Deuteronomy 24:8-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. “Take care, in a case of leprous disease, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you. As I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.

9. Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt.

10. “When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not go into his house to collect his pledge.

11. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you.

12. And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep in his pledge.

13. You shall restore to him the pledge as the sun sets, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you. And it shall be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.

14. “You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns.
