בְּיוֹמוֹ֩ תִתֵּ֨ן שְׂכָר֜וֹ וְֽלֹא־תָב֧וֹא עָלָ֣יו הַשֶּׁ֗מֶשׁ כִּ֤י עָנִי֙ ה֔וּא וְאֵלָ֕יו ה֥וּא נֹשֵׂ֖א אֶת־נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־יִקְרָ֤א עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וְהָיָ֥ה בְךָ֖ חֵֽטְא׃ (ס)
你要在當天把工錢給他，不可等到日落，因為他是貧窮人，他的性命全繫於這工錢；免得他因你向永恆者呼求，罪就歸到你身上。

In the case of a day laborer the Bible says: “You shall give him his wage the same day before the sun sets for he is a poor man”. (Deut. 24:15) But there is no difference whether the wage of a man, an animal or the rent for borrowed vessels is concerned. All must be paid for on the same day and their wage must not be held overnight.31)בבא מציעא קי״א ב׳.
