SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:12

Y si fuere hombre pobre, no duermas con su prenda.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 24:12

Verse 12. And if the man be
poor, &c.] Did not this law preclude pledging entirely, especially in case of the abjectly poor? For who would take a pledge in the morning which he knew, if not redeemed, he must restore at night? However, he might resume his claim in the morning, and have the pledge daily returned, and thus keep up his property in it till the debt was discharged; see the note on "Exod. xxii. 26". The Jews in several cases did act contrary to this rule, and we find them cuttingly reproved for it by the Prophet Amos, Amos ii. 8.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. And if the man [be]
poor , etc.] Which may be thought to be the case of everyone that gives pledges for a debt he owes, or a sum of money he borrows; yet there might be a difference: some might be so very destitute of goods and raiment in their houses, that whatever they parted with was distressing to them, and they could not well do without it: thou shalt not sleep with his pledge ; nor keep it a night; but deliver it to him, before he went to bed, and laid himself down to sleep.

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.
