1. Henry Koster 2.12.16 / 5am

   Deuteronomy 24:16 (Ik ben niet schuldig aan de zonden van een ander, ook niet mijn voorouders. Andersom bent u geen slachtoffer tenzij u nog steeds een slaaf bent en dat is vast niet zo, behalve van de belastingdienst dan.)

   14Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are] in thy land within thy gates: 15At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.

   16The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

   17Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge: 18But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
