'Pledge' in the Bible

“No one shall take a handmill or an upper millstone in pledge, for he would be taking a life in pledge.

“When you make your neighbor a loan of any sort, you shall not enter his house to take his pledge.

You shall remain outside, and the man to whom you make the loan shall bring the pledge out to you.

If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

When the sun goes down you shall surely return the pledge to him, that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it will be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.

“You shall not pervert the justice due an alien or an orphan, nor take a widow’s garment in pledge.
