When Jehovah blessed them with abundant harvests, when they rejoiced in their festivals, when they rested from their labors during Sabbath years, and on other occasions, the people were to remember those less fortunate — the widows, the fatherless boys, and the alien residents. — Deuteronomy 16: 9 - 14; 24: 19 - 21; 26: 12, 13.
Kui Jehoova õnnistas iisraellasi rikkaliku viljasaagiga, kui nad rõõmutsesid pühade ajal, kui nad puhkasid hingamisaastal oma vaevast ning ka teistel puhkudel, tuli neil pidada meeles neid, kel oli vähem õnne — leski, vaeseidlapsi ja võõraid.
