24:6 One must not take either lower or upper millstones as security on a loan, for that is like taking a life itself as security. 1
24:10 When you make any kind of loan to your neighbor, you may not go into his house to claim what he is offering as security. 2 24:11 You must stand outside and the person to whom you are making the loan will bring out to you what he is offering as security. 3 24:12 If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering. 4 24:13 You must by all means 5 return to him at sunset the item he gave you as security so that he may sleep in his outer garment and bless you for it; it will be considered a just 6 deed by the Lord your God.
24:17 You must not pervert justice due a resident foreigner or an orphan, or take a widow’s garment as security for a loan. 24:18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do all this. 24:19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, 7 you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. 8 24:20 When you beat your olive tree you must not repeat the procedure; 9 the remaining olives belong to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow. 24:21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard you must not do so a second time; 10 they should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow.
