Albert Barnes Commentary
"Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah. Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning." — Leviticus 19:11-13 (ASV)
(Leviticus 19:11) forbids injuries perpetrated by deceit; (Leviticus 19:13), those perpetrated by violence or power, the conversion of might into right. In Leviticus 19:13, “defraud” should rather be oppress.
