Debtor
1
Various regulations as to the relation between debtor and creditor are laid down in the Scriptures.
2
The debtor was to deliver up as a pledge to the creditor what he could most easily dispense with (Deut 24:10, 11).
3
A mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a pledge, could not be kept over night (Exod 22:26, 27).
4
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.
5
A surety was liable in the same way as the original debtor (Prov 11:15; 17:18).
