The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:14-15

Omitted duty ripens into curse. Thoughtlessness is a flimsy excuse for neglected duty. It is a sin to be thoughtless. One talent is buried in the earth. In proportion to the mischief produced is the punishment thereof. I. WE HAVE HERE A CASE OF OBLIGATION FULLY MATURED . 1. The rich is debtor to the poor. Obligation between the several ranks of society is equal. The rich rely for many services upon the poor. The king depends upon the cook. The laborer gives his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 24:14-15

Deuteronomy 24:14-15. Not oppress a hired servant By detaining his wages from him when due, which is the meaning of oppression here, as appears from the next verse. At his day thou shalt give him his hire That is, at the time appointed, weekly or daily. He speaks of a hireling who was so poor as not to be able to provide himself and family with necessaries without his wages, and who therefore eagerly expected them as the support of their lives. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

Protection for the disadvantaged (24:1-25:4)Various laws guaranteed protection for defenceless people who might otherwise be exploited. A woman who had been divorced was free from interference by her previous husband. He had to respect the decency of marriage, and had no right to send her away then take her back as he pleased (24:1-4; cf. Matthew 5:32; Matthew 19:3-9). A newly married man could not be forced into the army till at least one year after marriage (5; cf. 20:7). A poor person who... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 24:15

Ver. 15. At his day thou shalt give him his hire— This particularly concerns those who live by their daily labour: they ought to be paid before the sun goes down; all ought to receive their wages, whether labourers or servants, at the time agreed upon; for this is what he setteth his heart upon; or, as the Vulgate has it, for from hence he supports his soul, or life. The bread of the needy is their life, saith the son of Sirach; he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood: he that taketh... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 24:14

14, 15. Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy—Hired servants in the East are paid at the close of the day; and for a master to defraud the laborer of his hire, or to withhold it wrongfully for a night, might have subjected a poor man with his family to suffering and was therefore an injustice to be avoided ( :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 24:10-15

Debtors 24:10-15The Israelites were not to take advantage of their poorer brethren because of their vulnerable condition. God looked out for them. They were not to withhold their clothing and wages from them (cf. James 5:4). Specifically they were not to humiliate a debtor by entering his house and demanding repayment of a debt. They were to allow the debtor to initiate repayment. Perhaps the connection with the ninth commandment is that by taking the initiative the creditor was saying... read more
