Intertextuality Pair

Deuteronomy 24:14 → Leviticus 19:13

Allusion

Later text

Deuteronomy 24:14BSB

Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.

Earlier text

Leviticus 19:13BSB

You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.

Significance

Leviticus 19:13 prohibits withholding a hired worker's wages (פְּעֻלַּת שָׂכִיר, pe'ullat sakhir) overnight. Deuteronomy 24:14 develops this into a broader command not to "oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy" (עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן, ani ve'evyon), "whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns." The Deuteronomic expansion notably extends protection to foreign workers alongside Israelites and adds the explicit consequence that the wronged worker "may cry out to the LORD against you." Both texts protect the economically vulnerable from exploitation, but Deuteronomy heightens the urgency by naming the divine court of appeal.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — Leviticus 19:13's ban on withholding a hired hand's wages overnight is broadened at Moab: protection extends explicitly to the poor and needy, brother or resident foreigner, with the LORD named as the court the oppressed may cry to — the wage law advanced in scope and sanction for life in the land.
