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

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

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
