Exodus 22:22-24
-
"Ye
shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all
unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath
shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and
your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless."
-
Deuteronomy 24:17-19
-
"Thou
shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of
the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
Egypt, and YHVH thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore
I command thee to do this thing. When thou cuttest down
thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in
the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall
be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the
widow: that YHVH thy God may bless thee in all the work
of thine hands."
