SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:17

No torcerás el derecho del extranjero ni del huérfano; ni tomarás por prenda la ropa de la viuda;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. Thou shalt not pervert the
judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless , etc.] Who are unable to defend themselves, and have but few, if any, to take their part; and therefore particular care should be taken by judges and civil magistrates to do them justice, or God will require it of them: nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge ; nor anything else, as her ox or cow, ( Job 24:3); according to the Jewish canons f434 , of a widow, whether she is poor or rich, a pledge is not taken; the reason given for which is, that it would raise an ill suspicion, and cause an evil report of her among her neighbours f435 ; and which is suggested by the Targum of Jonathan “neither shall any of you take for a pledge the raiment of a widow, lest wicked neighbours should arise, and bring an evil report upon her, when ye return the pledge unto her.”

But no doubt a poor widow is meant, and the design of the law is mercy to her, and that she might not be distressed by taking that from her she needed.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-22 - It is not hard to prove that purity, piety, justice, mercy, fai conduct, kindness to the poor and destitute, consideration for them and generosity of spirit, are pleasing to God, and becoming in his redeemed people. The difficulty is to attend to them in our daily wal and conversation __________________________________________________________________
