DEUTERONOMY 24:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the Lord thy God.”
You shall restore the pledge by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in his own cloak and bless you; and it will be to your credit before the LORD your God — the restoration brings blessing: the neighbor blesses the creditor, and God credits righteousness (tzedakah). The law transforms debt relations into occasions for mercy.
