When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 24 of Deuteronomy. A creditor must not enter a debtor’s house to take a pledge, and certain garments must be returned before nightfall. Withholding a laborer’s wages is also prohibited, and part of the harvest must be left for foreigners, orphans, and widows. Economic legislation seeks to limit the creditor’s power and turn the memory of slavery in Egypt into a foundation for solidarity.
