Deuteronomy 24:12 in Context — Deuteronomy 24

10 Si tu fais à ton prochain un prêt quelconque, tu n’entreras point dans sa maison pour te saisir de son gage;

11 tu resteras dehors, et celui à qui tu fais le prêt t’apportera le gage dehors.

12 Si cet homme est pauvre, tu ne te coucheras point, en retenant son gage;

13 tu le lui rendras au coucher du soleil, afin qu’il couche dans son vêtement et qu’il te bénisse; et cela te sera imputé à justice devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu.

14 Tu n’opprimeras point le mercenaire, pauvre et indigent, qu’il soit l’un de tes frères, ou l’un des étrangers demeurant dans ton pays, dans tes portes.
