Various regulations as to the relation between
debtor and creditor are laid down in the Scriptures.
(1.) The debtor was to deliver up as a
pledge to the creditor what he could most easily dispense with (
Deut. 24:10, 11).
(2.) A
mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a pledge, could not be kept over night (
Ex. 22:26, 27).
(3.) A
debt could not be exacted during the Sabbatic
year (
Deut. 15:1-15).
For other laws bearing
on this relation see
Lev. 25:14, 32, 39;
Matt. 18:25, 34.
(4.) A
surety was liable in the same way as the original debtor (
Prov. 11:15; 17:18).
I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
