Exodus 22:26-27
22:26 If you do take
the garment of your neighbor in pledge, you must return it to him by the time the sun goes down,
22:27 for it is his only covering – it is his garment for his body.
What else can he sleep in?
And
when he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
Deuteronomy 24:12-17
24:12 If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering.
24:13 You must by all means
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
deed by the
Lord your God.
24:14 You must not oppress a lowly and poor servant, whether one from among your fellow Israelites or from the resident foreigners who are living in your land and villages.
24:15 You must pay his wage that very day before the sun sets, for he is poor and his life depends on it. Otherwise he will cry out to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
24:16 Fathers must not be put to death for what their children do, nor children for what their fathers do; each must be put to death for his own sin.
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.
