Deuteronomy 24:16-22 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

16. “Fathers are not to be put to death for children, and children are not to be put to death for fathers—each one is to be put to death for his own sin.

17. You are not to twist justice for an outsider or orphan, and you are not to take as collateral a widow’s clothing.

18. But you are to remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Adonai your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.

19. “When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you are not to turn back to get it. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow—in order that Adonai your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

20. When you beat your olive tree, you are not to search through the branches afterward. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow.

21. When you harvest your vineyard, you are not to pick over it afterward. It is for the outsider, for the orphan and for the widow.

22. You are to remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.
