Intertextuality Pair

Deuteronomy 24:10-13 → Exodus 22:26-27

Allusion

Later text

Deuteronomy 24:10-13BSB

When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security. You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you. If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession; be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.

Earlier text

Exodus 22:26-27BSB

If you take your neighbor's cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset, because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.

Significance

Exodus 22:26-27 establishes the basic garment-pledge protection: a cloak taken as collateral must be returned before sunset because "his cloak is the only covering he has for his body." Deuteronomy 24:10-13 develops this into a comprehensive pledge-collection procedure: the creditor must not enter the debtor's house to seize the pledge, must wait outside, and must return it before sunset so that the debtor will "sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness (צְדָקָה, tsedaqah) before the LORD your God." Deuteronomy adds both procedural protections (staying outside the house) and a positive spiritual incentive—returning the pledge is counted as an act of righteousness before God.
