Context of Deuteronomy 24:11

9Remember [with thoughtful concern] what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the road as you came out of Egypt. 10“When you lend your neighbor anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge (security deposit). You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge out to you. 12If the man is poor, you shall not keep his pledge overnight. 13You shall certainly restore the pledge (security deposit) to him at sunset, so that he may sleep in his garment and bless you; and it will be credited to you as righteousness (right standing) before the Lord your God.
