Exodus22:26
26 If thou at all take thy neighbours raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the Sun goeth down .
To wit, that is poor, as appears by comparing this with the next verse, where he is supposed to have but one garment, and with Deut. 24. 12, 13.

But you are not to think that the creditour would every morning take and every night redeliver his pledge; and therefore this is rather a prohibition to take any such thing for a pledge as a man hath great and daily need of by this argument that if he did take it he could not keep it. Compare Deut. 24. 6.
