EXODUS | 22:21 afflict — EXOD666 We must prevent others from harming widow...

EXOD666 We must prevent others from harming widows and orphans. The words "You shall not afflict" are written in the second person plural (in Hebrew) to teach us that if you witness another person harming a widow or orphan and do not prevent him from committing this transgression, it is considered as if you yourself have harmed a widow or orphan. (Ibn Ezra)
