Echo Scripture

Sifrei Devarim 281

(Devarim 24:17) "You shall not pervert the judgment of a stranger and an orphan": What is the intent of this? Is it not already written ( Ibid . 16:19) "You shall not pervert judgment"? Its intent is to teach that one who perverts the judgment of a stranger transgresses two negative commandments. "and you shall not take as a pledge the garment of a widow": whether poor or rich. And even (if she were as rich) as Marta b. Baithus. R. Shimon says: The things that you take as a pledge and return (at given times), you may not take from a widow, so that you not frequent her house and impute a bad name to her.
