George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:12

Night, if it be a garment or bed covering, which may be necessary for the poor man. (Haydock) --- By allowing the creditor to keep the pledge such a short time, God wished to discourage the taking of any from such as were in real distress. (Menochius) --- The same regulation required, that if a necessary implement for labour, during the day time, was pledged, it should be returned in the morning. (Calmet) --- This was done every day, to admonish the creditor and the debtor to exercise mercy and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:5-13

5-13 It is of great consequence that love be kept up between husband and wife; that they carefully avoid every thing which might make them strange one to another. Man-stealing was a capital crime, which could not be settled, as other thefts, by restitution. The laws concerning leprosy must be carefully observed. Thus all who feel their consciences under guilt and wrath, must not cover it, or endeavour to shake off their convictions; but by repentance, and prayer, and humble confession, take the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 24:10-22

Kindness Toward the Poor and Needy v. 10. When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. The choice of the pledge was to be left to the borrower, and the lender was to respect the sanctity of his fellow-man's home. v. 11. Thou shalt stand abroad, outside the house, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee, something which he could spare for the time being. v. 12. And if the man, the borrower, be poor,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:10-13

Regulation of Pledges (Deuteronomy 24:10-13 ). Deuteronomy 24:10-11 ‘ When you lend your neighbour any manner of loan, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring forth the pledge outside to you.’ This regulation stressed the sanctity of a man’s home and personal rights, which were not to be violated. A creditor must not burst in without warning, taking what he would (like the kidnapper), indeed must not burst in at... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 24:6-16

XXIV. 6 f ., 10– 13, which stood perhaps originally together, belong to the many humanitarian laws of D ( Deuteronomy 15:12-Job : *). Corn is still ground in the home in Palestine; this is done by the rotation of an upper on a lower round stone ( cf. the British quern used in Scotland in 1880 according to E. B. Tylor ( Academy, vol. xviii. (1880) p. 204). Deuteronomy 24:7. Exodus 21:16 (JE). Here the law is narrower. In CH (§ 14) it is only the nobleman who may not be stolen ( Deuteronomy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 24:12

But restore it before night, which intimates that he should take no such thing for pledge, without which a man cannot sleep, since it were an idle thing to fetch it and carry it every day. See Poole "Exodus 22:26,Exodus 22:27". read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

CRITICAL Notes.—In this chapter certain duties social and domestic are chosen to illustrate the general application of the law.Deuteronomy 24:1-5. Relation of man and wife. Divorce. The verses are hypothetical and should form one sentence, the first three being protasis and Deuteronomy 24:4 the apodosis. Moses neither institutes nor commands divorce, but permits, puts under careful regulations which was too prevalent, too deeply rooted to abolish. The passage harmonises with Matthew 5:31-32;... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 24:1-22

Deuteronomy 24:1 . Some uncleanness; not adultery, but leprosy, secret infirmities, or insupportable wickedness. Moses, says our Saviour; because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not so. The magistrates executing the writing, would no doubt see the woman invested with all her property, or provided with a maintenance. With us a man may put away his wife for adultery, but he cannot marry another without leave from parliament.... read more
