SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:10
Cuando dieres a tu prójimo alguna cosa prestada, no entrarás en su casa para tomarle prenda.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. When thou dost lend thy brother anything , etc.] Any sum of money he stands in need of, or demanded a debt of him, as Jarchi; money he is indebted to thee, which is the sense of the Septuagint version; and he is not able to pay it, but offers something: in pawn till he can pay it: thou shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge ; which would be an exercise of too much power and authority, to go into a neighbour’s house, and take what was liked; and besides, as no doubt he would take the best, so he might take that which the poor man could not spare: and indeed, according to the Jewish canons f427 , he could not take any pledge at all, but with the knowledge, and by the leave, of the sanhedrim, or court of judicature.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-13 - It is of great consequence that love be kept up between husband an wife; that they carefully avoid every thing which might make the strange one to another. Man-stealing was a capital crime, which coul not be settled, as other thefts, by restitution. The laws concernin leprosy must be carefully observed. Thus all who feel their conscience under guilt and wrath, must not cover it, or endeavour to shake of their convictions; but by repentance, and prayer, and humbl confession, take the way to peace and pardon. Some orders are give about pledges for money lent. This teaches us to consult the comfor and subsistence of others, as much as our own advantage. Let the poor debtor sleep in his own raiment, and praise God for thy kindness to him. Poor debtors ought to feel more than commonly they do, the goodness of creditors who do not take all the advantage of the la against them, nor should this ever be looked upon as weakness.
