Pawn: General Scriptures Concerning

If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,

When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security. …

Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.

They drive away the donkey of the fatherless and take the widow’s ox in pledge.

If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?

Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.

…if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.

They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. And in the house of their God, they drink wine obtained through fines.
