DEBTOR
Various regulations as to the relation between debtor and creditor are laid down in the Scriptures. (1.) The debtor was to deliver up as a pledge to the creditor what he could most easily dispense with (Deut. 24:10, Deut. 24: 11). (2.) A mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a pledge, could not be kept over night (Exo 22:26, Exo 22: 27). (3.) A debt could not be exacted during the Sabbatic year (Deut. 15:1). For other laws bearing on this relation see Lev. 25:14, Lev. 25: 32, 39; Matt. 18:25, Matt. 18: 34. (4.) A surety was liable in the same way as the original debtor (Prov. 11:15;17:18).
