Paper 2 · Religion and Enterprise
Leviticus 19:13 and Deuteronomy 24:14-15 require a Jewish employer to
Aprovide each worker with a share of the family's own land.
Bpay a hired worker before the sun goes down on that day.
Crelease every hired worker from service in the seventh year.
Demploy only workers who belong to his own tribe of Israel.
Explanation: The wages of a hired worker may not be kept overnight, and Deuteronomy gives the reason: the labourer is poor and sets his heart on that day's pay. Prompt payment is therefore a matter of justice owed to the worker, not a courtesy the employer may choose.
