Contextual Overview
5 When a man taketh a newe wyfe, he shall not go a warfare, neither shalbe charged with any businesse: but shalbe free at home one yere, and reioyce with his wyfe whiche he hath taken. 6 No man shall take the neather or the vpper mylstone to pledge: for then he shall hurt a mans life. 7 If any man be founde stealing any of his brethren the chyldren of Israel, and abuseth hym, or selleth hym: the thiefe shall dye, and thou shalt put euill away from the middest of thee. 8 Take heede to thy selfe as concerning the plague of leprosie, that thou obserue diligently, and ye shall do according to all that the priestes the Leuites shall teache you: euen as I commaunded them, so ye shall obserue to do. 9 Remember what the Lorde thy God dyd vnto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come out of Egypt. 10 When thou doest lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetche a pledge from thence: 11 But shalt stande without, and the man that borowed it of thee, shall bring the pledge out of the doores vnto thee. 12 Furthermore, if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge: 13 But deliuer hym the pledge agayne when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his owne raiment, & blesse thee: And it shalbe righteousnes vnto thee before the Lorde thy Lorde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And if the man [be] poor,.... Which may be thought to be the case of everyone that gives pledges for a debt he owes, or a sum of money he borrows; yet there might be a difference: some might be so very destitute of goods and raiment in their houses, that whatever they parted with was distressing to them, and they could not well do without it:
thou shalt not sleep with his pledge; nor keep it a night; but deliver it to him, before he went to bed, and laid himself down to sleep.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Compare Exodus 22:25-27.
Deuteronomy 24:13
Righteousness unto thee - Compare Deuteronomy 6:25 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 24:12. And if the man be poor, c. — Did not this law preclude pledging entirely, especially in case of the abjectly poor? For who would take a pledge in the morning which he knew, if not redeemed, he must restore at night? However, he might resume his claim in the morning, and have the pledge daily returned, and thus keep up his property in it till the debt was discharged Exodus 22:26; Exodus 22:26. The Jews in several cases did act contrary to this rule, and we find them cuttingly reproved for it by the Prophet Amos, Amos 2:8.
