Exegesis
The initial clause uses ta‘ăšōq {תַעֲשֹׁק | ta‘ăšōq} ‘you shall oppress’ with the direct object marker et {אֶת | ʾet} governing re'ekha {רֵעֲךָ | rē‘ăḵā} ‘your neighbor,’ highlighting personal economic injustice.
In context — Leviticus 19:13
You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob them. You shall not withhold the wages of a hired worker with you until morning.
