Exodus 22:28 In-Context

26 "If you ever take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sun sets,
27 for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious.
28 "You shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 "You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
30 "You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother seven days; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
