Exodus 22:21-31 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

21. “Do not tread down a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Mitsrayim.

22. “Do not afflict any widow or fatherless child.

23. “If you do afflict them at all – if they cry out to Me at all, I shall certainly hear their cry,

24. and My wrath shall burn and I shall slay you with the sword, your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless.

25. “If you do lend silver to any of My people, the poor among you, you are not to be like one that lends on interest to him. Do not lay interest on him.

26. “If you take your neighbour’s garment as a pledge at all, you are to return it to him before the sun goes down.

27. “For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What does he sleep in? And it shall be that when he cries to Me, I shall hear, for I show favour.

28. “Do not revile Elohim, nor curse a ruler of your people.

29. “Do not delay giving your harvest and your vintage. Give Me the first-born of your sons.

30. “Likewise you are to do with your oxen, with your sheep. It is to be with its mother seven days. On the eighth day you give it to Me.

31. “And you are set-apart men to Me, and you do not eat any meat which is torn to pieces in the field, you throw it to the dogs.
