‏ Deuteronomy 24:12-13

v. 12-13: If a poor person gave his cloak as a pledge, the lender had to return it by sunset so the borrower would have something to sleep in. God wanted his people to be merciful and not take away the basic things that others needed to live. If the lender acted kindly, God would see it as righteousness and reward it.
