24If you lend money to my people, to the poor among you, you shall not be like a creditor to him; you shall not impose interest on him.

25If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun sets.

26For it is his only covering; it is his cloak for his skin. In what will he lie down? And if he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

27You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler among your people.

28You shall not delay the fullness of your harvest and the outflow of your press. You shall give to me the firstborn of your sons.

29You shall do the same with your ox and with your flock: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.

30And you shall be holy men to me. You shall not eat flesh torn in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
