21. And a sojourner[H1616] shalt thou not wrong[H3238], neither shalt thou oppress[H3905] him[H1616]: for ye were sojourners in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
22. Ye shall not afflict[H6031] any widow[H490], or fatherless child[H3490].

24. and my wrath[H639] shall wax hot[H2734], and I will kill[H2026] you with the sword[H2719]; and your wives[H802] shall be widows[H490], and your children[H1121] fatherless[H3490].
25. If thou lend[H3867] money[H3701] to any of my people[H5971] with thee that is poor[H6041], thou shalt not be to him as a creditor[H5383]; neither shall ye lay[H7760] upon him interest[H5392].

27. for that is his only covering[H3682], it is his garment[H8071] for his skin[H5785]: wherein shall he sleep[H7901]? and it shall come to pass[H6817], when he crieth unto me[H8085], that I will hear; for I am gracious[H2587].
28. Thou shalt not revile[H7043] God[H430], nor curse[H779] a ruler[H5387] of thy people[H5971].
29. Thou shalt not delay[H309] to offer of thy harvest[H4395], and of the outflow[H1831] of thy presses[H1060]. The first-born of thy sons[H1121] shalt thou give unto me[H5414].
30. Likewise[H3651] shalt thou do[H6213] with thine oxen[H7794], and with thy sheep[H6629]: seven[H7651] days[H3117] it shall be with its dam[H517]; on the eighth[H8066] day[H3117] thou shalt give it me[H5414].
31. And ye shall be holy[H6944] men[H582] unto me[H398]: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh[H1320] that is torn of beasts[H2966] in the field[H7704]; ye shall cast[H7993] it to the dogs[H3611].
