Deuteronomy 24 · Grade 2

Kind to People in Need

Name Date

Read the Story

God said, Pay a worker on the same day. He is poor and needs his money. Do not make him wait.

If a poor man gives you his coat as a promise to pay you back, give it back at night. He needs it to sleep in. God will see your kindness.

When you pick your grain, you may forget a bundle. Leave it there. When you pick olives and grapes, do not go back twice. Leave some for the widow, the child with no father, and the person far from home.

Memory Verse

“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.”

Deuteronomy 24:14 (WEB)

Deuteronomy 24 · Grade 3

Leaving Room for the Poor

Name Date

Read the Story

A man newly married did not go to war for a year, so he could stay home and cheer his wife. No one could take a family's millstone as a pledge for a loan, because they needed it to make bread.

A lender must not go into a poor man's house to take a pledge. If the man was poor and gave his cloak, it must be returned at sunset so he could sleep in it. A hired worker, whether Israelite or foreigner, must be paid before the sun went down.

No one was punished for another person's sin. At harvest, a forgotten sheaf must be left in the field. Olive trees and vineyards must not be picked over twice. What was left belonged to the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow.

Memory Verse

“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.”

Deuteronomy 24:14 (WEB)

Deuteronomy 24 · Grade 4

Justice for the Vulnerable

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 24 is full of laws that protect people with little power. A new husband was free from military duty for a year to cheer his wife. Taking a millstone as a pledge was forbidden, because it would take away a family's daily bread, their very life.

Lenders must respect a borrower's home and must return a poor man's cloak by sunset. Workers had to be paid the same day, for they set their heart on their wages. If not, they might cry to God against the employer. Each person would die for his own sin, not for the sin of a parent or child.

At harvest, the forgotten sheaf, the olives left on the branches, and the grapes left on the vine belonged to the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow. Ruth gleaned in Boaz's field under this law. The reason given twice is memory: remember that you were a slave in Egypt.

Deuteronomy 24 · Grade 5

Remember You Were a Slave

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 24 gathers laws that shield the vulnerable. The opening divorce law regulated a practice already present; Jesus later said Moses allowed divorce because of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so (Matthew 19:8). A newly married man was exempt from war and business for a year, so he could cheer his wife.

Lending laws protected dignity. No one could take the mill or upper millstone in pledge, for that takes a life in pledge. A lender must wait outside for the pledge, and a poor man's cloak must be returned by sunset. A hired worker, Israelite or foreigner, must be paid daily, before the sun goes down, lest he cry to God against you. Verse 16 established personal responsibility: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

The gleaning laws required farmers to leave forgotten sheaves and the remains of olive and grape harvests for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow. This gave the poor a way to work and eat with dignity, as Ruth did in Boaz's field. Twice the motive is repeated: remember that you were a slave in Egypt. Those who have received mercy must show mercy.
