Deuteronomy 24:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ “You must make sure that foreigners and orphans are treated fairly. And you must never take clothes from a widow as security. ¹⁸ Remember, you were poor slaves in Egypt. And the Lord your God took you from that place and set you free. That is why I tell you to do these things for the poor.

¹⁹ “You might be gathering your harvest in the field, and you might forget and leave some grain there. You must not go back to get it. It will be for the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows. If you leave some grain for them, the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
