^{13 Ref} But be certain to give it back to him when the sun goes down, so that he may have his clothing for sleeping in, and will give you his blessing: and this will be put to your account as righteousness before the Lord your God.

^{14 Ref} Do not be hard on a servant who is poor and in need, if he is one of your countrymen or a man from another nation living with you in your land.
