Deuteronomy 24:17-22

Modern English Version

¹⁷ You must not pervert the justice of the foreigner or of the fatherless, nor take a widow’s cloak as a pledge. ¹⁸ On the contrary, you must remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you there. Therefore, I command you to do this.

¹⁹ Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you may not go back to get it. It will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. ²⁰ When you beat your olive tree, you may not go over the boughs again. It will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. ²¹ When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it again. It will be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. ²² You must remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt. Therefore I command you to do this thing.
