圣经》的律法是否要求雇主每天给员工发工资？

⮜ 已回答的问题

The law in question states:

13 “‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. Leviticus 19:13WEB

Gary North suggests that this law is, "one of the rare cases in Scripture where God does prohibit a voluntary economic contract."

Wrong. Biblical law supports voluntary, non-fraudulent contracts.

法律的目的是禁止雇主对劳动者的 "压迫"。具体的压迫是指雇主窃取雇员工资的 "选择价值"（有人称之为 "时间价值"）。在温饱水平的经济中，哪怕是劳动者用钱行使选择权的机会受到小小的破坏，也会产生压迫的效果。圣经的原则是：除非工人同意延迟付款，否则就是偷窃。但圣经的法律不允许民事政府干预自愿的、非欺诈性的交易。这是神的律法与人的律法的区别之一。它斥责了所有现代法律制度。

在现代社会，工人的工资可能是每周、每两周或每月。他们往往认为没有必要坚持在每天工作结束时领取工资。在特定的时间段内，合并工资对雇主和雇员都有好处。然而，如果你为一个 "现金流 "紧张的雇主工作，如果他们每天都要支付工人的工资，他们就无法支付工资，那么你可以考虑寻找一个能更好地管理他们的钱的雇主）

As a Biblical principle of stewardship, in caring for your family, you should not (if you have the choice) be living even "paycheck-to-paycheck," much less "daily wage-to-daily wage". If you are truly "poor" (the way many in the Third world are), then you are probably not reading this web article. And we won't even talk about voluntarily going into debt.

Someone might suggest: "the employer is profiting off the employee by not paying him interest for those [two or four] weeks; that is theft!" It would be theft, if that was not voluntarily (contractually) agreed to by the employee. When the employee negotiates his wage, he is also negotiating the "choice value" of being paid every two weeks (or every month). The interest (which is the rental price of the wage's "choice value") becomes included in the wage, by definition. The employer cannot be accused of stealing what he is already paying for.
