Exodus 22:21-27

Lexham English Bible LEB

21 " 'You will not mistreat an alien, and you will not oppress him, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

22 " 'You will not afflict any widow or orphan.

23 If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress.

24 And {I will become angry}, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.

25 " 'If you lend money [to] my people, [to] the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not {charge him interest}.

26 If indeed you require the cloak of your neighbor as a pledge, you will return it to him at sundown,

27 because it is his only garment; it is his cloak for his skin. In what will he sleep? {And} when he cries out to me, I will hear, because I [am] gracious.

New International Version NIV

21 “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

22 “Do not take advantage of the widow or the fatherless.

23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.

24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.

25 “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.

26 If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, return it by sunset,

27 because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has. What else can they sleep in? When they cry out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
