Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:14
Theological / DevotionalOppress. Literally, “defraud.” The same Hebrew word is used in Leviticus 19:13; 1 Samuel 12:3, 4; Leviticus 6:2, 4.
An hired servant. See Leviticus 19:13; Jeremiah 22:13; Malachi 3:5; James 5:4.
Strangers. No difference was to be made between the natural Jew and the proselyte (Leviticus 19:34).
