Of charity When you lend anything to your neighbor This phrase addresses the practice of lending, which was common in ancient Israelite society. Lending was often necessary due to the agrarian lifestyle, where a bad harvest could lead to financial hardship. The Mosaic Law provided guidelines to ensure fairness and compassion in lending practices. This reflects the broader biblical principle of loving one's neighbor (Leviticus 19:18) and caring for the community.

Practical Love for Neighbors The application of this law is a practical expression of loving one's neighbor, as it requires consideration and empathy.(10-13) When thou dost lend.--The law in these verses is evidently the production of primitive and simple times, when men had little more than the bare necessaries of life to offer as security--their own clothing, or the mill-stones used to prepare their daily food, being almost their only portable property. (See Exodus 22:26-27.) It shall be righteousness.--LXX., it shall be alms, or mercy. In other words, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Verses 10-13. - If one had to take a pledge from another, he was not to go into the house of the latter and take what he thought fit; he must stand without, and allow the debtor to bring to him what he saw meet to offer. He might stand outside and summon the debtor to produce his pledge, but he was not insolently to enter the house and lay hands on any part of the owner's property. To stand outside and call is still a common mode of seeking access to a person in his own house or apartment among the Arabs, and is regarded as the only respectful mode. There would be thus a mitigation of the severity of the exaction, the tendency of which would be to preserve good feeling between the parties. If the debtor was needy, and being such could give in pledge only some necessary article, such as his upper garment in which he slept at night, the pledge was to be returned ere nightfall, that the man might sleep in his own raiment, and have a grateful feeling towards his creditor. In many parts of the East, with the Arabs notably, it is customary for the poor to sleep in their outer garment. "During the day the poor while at work can and do dispense with this outside raiment, but at night it is greatly needed, even in summer. This furnishes a good reason why this sort of pledge should be restored before night" (Thomson, 'Land and the Book,' 1:192, 500). The earlier legislation (Exodus 22:25, 26) is evidently assumed here as well known by the people. It shall be righteousness unto thee (see on Deuteronomy 6:25).Parallel Commentaries ...
