EXODUS | 22:21 afflict — EXOD665 We must be especially careful not to harm...

EXOD665 We must be especially careful not to harm a widow or orphan in any way. Rashi sites the Mechilta which states that although the same provision applies to harming any person, the Torah mentions widows and orphans because they are defenseless and this makes them the target of affliction. [The author lists seven basic laws of this prohibition].
