Against Injustice to the Gçr, the Orphan and the Widow, the three classes so earnestly cared for by D, Deuteronomy 24:19; Deuteronomy 10:18, q.v., Deuteronomy 14:29; Deuteronomy 16:11; Deuteronomy 16:14. Parallels in E, Exodus 22:21 f., Deuteronomy 23:6 (the poor), 9, on which see Driver's Exod.; and in H, Leviticus 19:33. The clause against pledging the widow's raiment is omitted by some LXX codd. and some suggest that its proper place is with 10 13. Its word for pledge, however, is not -abatas there but ḥabalas in Deuteronomy 24:6, and its appearance here is natural. On widows" rights in Babylonia, see Johns, op. cit.ch. xii.
