^21 (A)“You shall neither mistreat a ^[a]stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

⁹ “Also ^(A)you shall not oppress a ^[a]stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

³³ ‘And ^(A)if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. ^34 (B)The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as ^[a]one born among you, and ^(C)you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

Lending to the Poor

³⁵ ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and ^[a]falls into poverty among you, then you shall ^(A)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. ^36 (B)Take no usury or interest from him; but ^(C)fear your God, that your brother may live with you. ³⁷ You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.

^18 (A)He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing. ¹⁹ Therefore love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ “You shall not ^(A)oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. ¹⁵ Each day ^(B)you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; ^(C)lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.

^16 (D)“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

^17 (E)“You shall not pervert justice due the stranger or the fatherless, ^(F)nor take a widow’s garment as a pledge.

¹⁶ He may dwell with you in your midst, in the place which he chooses within one of your gates, where it ^[a]seems best to him; ^(A)you shall not oppress him.

^19 (A)‘Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the stranger, the fatherless, and widow.’

“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
