Contextual Overview
5 When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, and he shall not be given any thing to do . He shall be free at his own house for one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he has taken. 6 No one shall take in pledge the lower and upper millstone, for he is taking a man's life to pledge. 7 If a man is found stealing a person of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and has dealt with him as a slave, and sold him, then that thief shall die. And you shall put away the evil from among you. 8 Be on guard in the plague of leprosy, that you watch closely and do according to all that the Levitical priests shall teach you. As I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do. 9 Remember that which Jehovah your God did to Miriam in the way, as you came out of Egypt. 10 When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge. 11 You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the security outside to you. 12 And if the man is poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge. 13 You shall certainly give back the pledge to him as goes the sun; and he shall lie down in his own clothing, and shall bless you. And it shall be righteousness to you before Jehovah your God.

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.
