24:6 One must not take either lower or upper millstones as security on a loan, for that is like taking a life itself as security. 1
24:10 When you make any kind of loan to your neighbor, you may not go into his house to claim what he is offering as security. 2 24:11 You must stand outside and the person to whom you are making the loan will bring out to you what he is offering as security. 3 24:12 If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering. 4 24:13 You must by all means 5 return to him at sunset the item he gave you as security so that he may sleep in his outer garment and bless you for it; it will be considered a just 6 deed by the Lord your God.
24:17 You must not pervert justice due a resident foreigner or an orphan, or take a widow’s garment as security for a loan. 24:18 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God redeemed you from there; therefore I am commanding you to do all this.
