10. When you make a loan to your neighbors, don’t go into their homes to get something in place of it.
11. Stay outside and let them go in and get what they promised you.
12. If a poor person gives you a coat to show he will pay the loan back, don’t keep it overnight.
13. Give the coat back at sunset, because your neighbor needs that coat to sleep in, and he will be grateful to you. And the Lord your God will see that you have done a good thing.
14. Don’t cheat hired servants who are poor and needy, whether they are fellow Israelites or foreigners living in one of your towns.
15. Pay them each day before sunset, because they are poor and need the money. Otherwise, they may complain to the Lord about you, and you will be guilty of sin.
16. Parents must not be put to death if their children do wrong, and children must not be put to death if their parents do wrong. Each person must die for his own sin.
17. Do not be unfair to a foreigner or an orphan. Don’t take a widow’s coat to make sure she pays you back.
18. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and the Lord your God saved you from there. That is why I am commanding you to do this.
