Exodus 22:19-27 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

19. “ ‘Anyone lying with an animal will surely be put to death.

20. “ ‘Whoever sacrifices to the gods—not to Yahweh, to him alone—will be destroyed.

21. “ ‘You will not mistreat an alien, and you will not oppress him, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22. “ ‘You will not afflict any widow or orphan.

23. If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

24. And I will become angry, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.

25. “ ‘If you lend money to my people, to the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not charge him interest.

26. If indeed you require the cloak of your neighbor as a pledge, you will return it to him at sundown,

27. because it is his only garment; it is his cloak for his skin. In what will he sleep? And when he cries out to me, I will hear, because I am gracious.
