# General Information:
Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words "you" and "your" here are singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
# You must not oppress a hired servant
"You must not treat a hired servant poorly"
# hired servant
a person who gets paid daily for his work
# poor and needy
These two words have similar meanings and emphasize that this is a person who cannot help himself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
# within your city gates
Here "city gates" mean towns or cities. Alternate translation: "in one of your cities" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
