Sifrei Devarim 279

Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)

ביומו תתן שכרו. מלמד ששכיר יום גובה כל הלילה. ושכיר לילה גובה כל היום מנין? ת"ל לא תלין … ולא תבוא עליו השמש.

English · Shraga Silverstein

(Devarim 24:15) "In his day shall you give his wage": Whence is it derived that a hired day-laborer claims (his wages) the entire night, and a hired night-laborer claims the entire day? From (respectively) "The wage of a hired (day-) laborer shall not abide with you until morning," and "the sun shall not go down upon it" (the wage of a hired night-laborer).

Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)

כי עני הוא [ואליו הוא נושא את נפשו]. פרט לשפסק עמו.

English · Shraga Silverstein

"for he is poor and to it he lifts his soul": to exclude (from the interdict) an instance in which it was mutually agreed (that he be paid later).

Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)

ואליו הוא נושא את נפשו. וכי למה עלה זה בכבש, ומסר לך את נפשו, לא שתתן לו שכרו בו ביום! א"כ למה נאמר "ואליו הוא נושא את נפשו"? אלא מלמד, שכל הכובש שכר שכיר, מעלה עליו הכתוב כאלו הוא נושא את נפשו.

English · Shraga Silverstein

"and to it he lifts his soul": For why did he ascend the incline and risk his life if not that you should give him his wage in the daytime? If so, why is it written (lit.,) "and to it he 'takes' his soul"? To teach that if one holds back a hired laborer's wage, it is reckoned to him as if he took his soul.

Hebrew · Sifrei Devarim (Hebrew)

ולא יקרא עליך אל ה'. יכול מצוה שלא לקרות? ת"ל "וקרא עליך". יכול מצותו לקרות? ת"ל "ולא יקרא עליך אל ה'". יכול אם קרא עליך יהיה בך חטא, ואם לא קרא עליך לא יהיה בך חטא? ת"ל "והיה בך חטא" מ"מ (=מכל מקום). א"כ למה נאמר "וקרא עליך אל ה'"? ממהר אני ליפרע עלי ידי קורא, יותר ממי שאינו קורא.

English · Shraga Silverstein

"that he not call against you to the L-rd": I might think that he is commanded not to call; it is, therefore, written (Ibid. 15:9) "and he shall call out against you" I might then think that he is commanded to call; it is, therefore, written (here) "that he not call out against you to the L-rd." I might think that if he calls, "there will be in you a sin," and if not, not; it is, therefore, written "and there will be in you a sin" — in any event. If so, why is it written "and he shall call out against you"? I hasten to exact payment for one who calls more than for one who does not call.
