Deuteronomy 24:7-14
New American Standard Bible
8Be careful about an infestation of leprosy, that you are very attentive and act in accordance with everything that the Levitical priests teach you; just as I have commanded them, you shall be careful to act.
9Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt.
10When you make your neighbor a loan of any kind, you shall not enter his house to take his pledge.
11You shall stand outside, and the person to whom you are making the loan shall bring the pledge outside to you.
12And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.
13When the sun goes down you shall certainly return the pledge to him, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it will be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.
King James Version
Chapter 24
7If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. 8Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. 9Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.
10When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
12And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
13In 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.

10"When you make a loan of any kind to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect what he offers as security.
11Stand outside while the man you are making the loan to brings the security out to you.
12If he is a poor man, do not sleep with the garment he has given as security.

12If your neighbor is poor and gives you his cloak as security for a loan, do not keep the cloak overnight.
