Exodus 22:26 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge— This law extends to every thing of daily use, or whereupon livelihood depends. See Deuteronomy 24:6 from the 12th and 13th verses of which chapter, as well as from the reason of the law, it appears that it refers to the poor. The raiment here mentioned, was that kind of loose garment whereof we spoke in the note on ch. Exodus 12:34 and which, as Dr. Shaw there observes, was commonly used for sleeping in. Note; When we lie warm ourselves, let us remember such as want clothes to cover them; and never add affliction to the needy, but study how to relieve it.
