'Pledge' in the Bible
For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee; and thou shalt lend on pledge to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee.
but thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto him, and shalt certainly lend him on pledge what is sufficient for his need, in that which he lacketh.
No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in pledge.
When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to secure his pledge.
Thou shalt stand outside, and the man to whom thou hast made a loan shall bring out the pledge to thee without.
And if the man be needy, thou shalt not lie down with his pledge;
in any case thou shalt return him the pledge at the going down of the sun, that he may sleep in his own upper garment and bless thee; and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God.
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, or of the fatherless; and thou shalt not take in pledge a widow's garment.
