Deuteronomy 24:10-13. Thou shalt not go in To prevent both the poor man’s reproach, by having his wants exposed, and the creditor’s greediness, which might be occasioned by the sight of something which he desired, and the debtor could not spare. The pledge He shall choose what pledge he pleases, provided it be sufficient for the purpose. Thou shalt not sleep But restore it before night, which intimates that he should take no such thing for pledge without which a man could not sleep. ... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 24:10

10-13. When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge—The course recommended was, in kind and considerate regard, to spare the borrower's feelings. In the case of a poor man who had pledged his cloak, it was to be restored before night, as the poor in Eastern countries have commonly no other covering for wrapping themselves in when they go to sleep than the garment they have worn during the day. 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

Laws regarding Divorce, Pledges, Man-stealing, Leprosy, Justice, and Gleaning1-4. The Law of Divorce. The right of the husband to divorce his wife is here acknowledged but is guarded against abuse.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 24:10-13

(10-13) When thou dost lend.—The law in these verses is evidently the production of primitive and simple times, when men had little more than the bare necessaries of life to offer as security—their own clothing, or the mill-stones used to prepare their daily food, being almost their only portable property. (See Exodus 22:26-27.)It shall be righteousness.—LXX., it shall be alms, or mercy. In other words, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

LAWS OF KINDNESSWITH the commands we now have to consider, we leave altogether the region of strict law, and enter entirely upon that of aspiration and of feeling. Kindness, by its very nature, eludes the rude compulsion of law, properly so called. It ceases to be kindness when it loses spontaneity and freedom. Precept, therefore, not law, is the utmost that any lawgiver can give in respect to it; and this is precisely what we have in Deuteronomy, so far as it endeavors to incite men to... read more
