Intertextuality Pair

Deuteronomy 24:14-15 → Leviticus 19:13

Allusion

Later text

Deuteronomy 24:14-15BSB

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. You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

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 commands "You must not withhold until morning the wages (פְּעֻלַּת שָׂכִיר, pe'ullat sakhir) due a hired hand." Deuteronomy 24:14-15 expands this with greater specificity: "You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them" — adding the motivation of the worker's poverty and the theological warning that the oppressed laborer "may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin." The Deuteronomic restatement transforms the brief Levitical prohibition into a pastoral appeal grounded in compassion for the vulnerable and accountability before God.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the terse Levitical prohibition matures into pastoral statute: daily payment before sunset, the worker's dependence stated ("he is poor and depends on them"), and guilt before the LORD attached — the same wage protection carried forward with heightened theological accountability.
