Deuteronomy 24:14-15

14 You must not oppress a lowly and poor servant, whether one from among your fellow Israelites ^{▼▼ Heb “your brothers,” but not limited only to actual siblings; cf. NASB “your (+ own NAB) countrymen.”} or from the resident foreigners who are living in your land and villages. ^{▼▼ Heb “who are in your land in your gates.” The word “living” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.} 15 You must pay his wage that very day before the sun sets, for he is poor and his life depends on it. Otherwise he will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
