Study Notes — Deuteronomy 24:11
Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — Additional Laws
9Remember what the LORD your God did to Miriam on the journey after you came out of Egypt.
10When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.
11You are to stand outside while the man to whom you are lending brings the security out to you.
12If he is a poor man, you must not go to sleep with the security in your possession; 13be sure to return it to him by sunset, so that he may sleep in his own cloak and bless you, and this will be credited to you as righteousness before the LORD your God.Deuteronomy 24:11 Summary
Deuteronomy 24:11 teaches us to respect people's privacy and dignity, even when we are lending them something. When we lend to someone, we should not enter their home to collect security, but instead, let them bring it out to us. This shows that we care about their feelings and well-being, just like we would want others to care about ours (Leviticus 19:18). By doing this, we are also following God's command to love our neighbors as ourselves and to treat others with kindness and compassion (Matthew 22:39).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Deuteronomy 24:11 instruct the lender to stand outside while the borrower brings out the security?
This instruction is given to protect the dignity and privacy of the borrower, as seen in Deuteronomy 24:10, and to prevent the lender from taking advantage of the borrower, as warned in Exodus 22:25-27.
How does this verse relate to the concept of loving our neighbors as ourselves?
By respecting the borrower's privacy and not entering their home to collect security, the lender is demonstrating love and respect for their neighbor, as taught in Leviticus 19:18 and Matthew 22:39.
What is the significance of the lender standing outside in this context?
The lender standing outside while the borrower brings out the security emphasizes the importance of humility and not taking advantage of others, as seen in Proverbs 22:7 and Luke 6:30-35.
How does this verse apply to our lives today?
This verse reminds us to treat others with respect and dignity, especially in situations where we may have power or authority over them, as seen in Ephesians 4:32 and Colossians 3:13.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways we can demonstrate respect and love for our neighbors in our daily lives?
- How can we balance the need to collect debts with the need to treat others with kindness and compassion?
- In what ways can we apply the principle of not taking advantage of others in our own relationships and interactions?

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 24:11
Thou shall stand abroad,.... Without doors, in the street, as the Targum of Jonathan, while the borrower or debtor looks out, and brings forth what he can best spare as a pledge: and the man to whom
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 24:11
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:11
He shall choose what pledge he please, provided only it be sufficient for the purpose.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:11
(10-13) When thou dost lend.—The law in these verses is evidently the production of primitive and simple times, when men had little more than the bare necessaries of life to offer as security—their own clothing, or the mill-stones used to prepare their daily food, being almost their only portable property. (See Exodus 22:26-27.) It shall be righteousness.—LXX., it shall be alms, or mercy. In other words, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 24:11
Deuteronomy 24:5 to Deuteronomy 25:4. Thirteen Laws of Equity and Humanity Besides the humane temper common to most of them, and a few cue-words, there are no apparent reasons for their being grouped or for the order in which they occur. They have various openings, mostly conditional, otherwise negative. Three are not in the direct form of address, and two only close with this; the rest are in the Sg. form, except one mixed of Sg. and Pl. Some are peculiar to D, others have parallels in E and H. In particular note the separation of the three laws on pledges, and their use of two different terms for ‘pledge.’ All this suggests a compilation from different sources.
