דברים כ״ד:י״ד-ט״ו

לא תעשק שכיר. וַהֲלֹא כְבָר כָּתוּב? אֶלָּא לַעֲבֹר עַל הָאֶבְיוֹן בִּשְׁנֵי לָאוין, "לֹא תַעֲשֹׁק שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר" שֶׁהוּא עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן, וְעַל הֶעָשִׁיר כְּבָר הֻזְהַר (ויקרא י"ט) "לֹא תַעֲשֹׁק אֶת רֵעֲךָ" (ב"מ ס"א):

Do not steal from the wage earner. But isn’t it already written? Evidently, to violate, against the destitute, two negative commandments: ‘Do not steal the pay of the wage earner who is poor or destitute;’ and, against the wealthy, he has already been warned, “Do not steal from your fellow.”

אביון. הַתָּאֵב לְכָל דָּבָר:

Destitute. In want of all things.

מגרך. זֶה גֵּר צֶדֶק:

Your converts. This refers to the righteous proselyte.

בשעריך. זֶה גֵּר תּוֹשָׁב הָאוֹכֵל נְבֵלוֹת:

In your cities. This refers to the alien settler, who eats meat which was not ritually slaughtered.

אשר בארצך. לְרַבּוֹת שְׂכַר בְּהֵמָה וְכֵלִים (בבא מציעא קי"א):

Who are in your land. This is added to include rental fees for animals and tools.

ואליו הוא נשא את נפשו. אֶל הַשָּׂכָר הַזֶּה הוּא נוֹשֵׂא אֶת נַפְשׁוֹ לָמוּת, עָלָה בַכֶּבֶשׁ וְנִתְלָה בְאִילָן (ספרי; ב"מ קי"ב):

And he places his life in jeopardy for it. For these wages, he places himself in mortal danger — he climbs a wall, or suspends himself from a tree.

והיה בך חטא. מִכָּל מָקוֹם, אֶלָּא שֶׁמְּמַהֲרִין לִפָּרֵעַ עַל יְדֵי הַקּוֹרֵא (ספרי):

And you will have a sin. Regardless, except that punishment is swiftly dispatched when someone cries out.
