כִּֽי־תַשֶּׁה בְרֵֽעֲךָ מַשַּׁאת מְאוּמָה לֹא־תָבֹא אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ לַעֲבֹט עֲבֹטֽוֹ׃
If you become your fellow’s creditor for any amount of debt, do not enter his house to take his pledge.
If you become your fellow’s creditor for any amount of debt, do not enter his house to take his pledge.
Rashi
משאת מאומה. חוֹב שֶׁל כְּלוּם:
For any amount of debt. The slightest debt.
בַּחוּץ תַּעֲמֹד וְהָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה נֹשֶׁה בוֹ יוֹצִיא אֵלֶיךָ אֶֽת־הַעֲבוֹט הַחֽוּצָה׃
Stand outside, and the man from whom you are claiming, will bring out the pledge to you outside.
Stand outside, and the man from whom you are claiming, will bring out the pledge to you outside.
וְאִם־אִישׁ עָנִי הוּא לֹא תִשְׁכַּב בַּעֲבֹטֽוֹ׃
And if he is a poor man, do not repose with his collateral [in your possession].
And if he is a poor man, do not repose with his collateral [in your possession].
Rashi
לא תשכב בעבטו. לֹא תִשְׁכַּב וַעֲבוֹטוֹ אֶצְלְךָ (ספרי; בבא מציעא קי"ד):
Do not repose with his collateral. Do not repose with his collateral in your possession.
הָשֵׁב תָּשִׁיב לוֹ אֶֽת־הַעֲבוֹט כְּבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְשָׁכַב בְּשַׂלְמָתוֹ וּבֵֽרְכֶךָּ וּלְךָ תִּהְיֶה צְדָקָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ {ס}
Return are you to return the pledge to him at sunset, and he will sleep with his garment and bless you; and it will be to your credit before Adonoy, your God.
Return are you to return the pledge to him at sunset, and he will sleep with his garment and bless you; and it will be to your credit before Adonoy, your God.
Rashi
כבוא השמש. אִם כְּסוּת לַיְלָה הוּא, וְאִם כְּסוּת יוֹם — הַחֲזִירֵהוּ בַבֹּקֶר, וּכְבָר כָּתוּב בִּוְאֵלֶּה הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים (כ"ב) "עַד בֹּא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ תְּשִׁיבֶנּוּ לוֹ" — כָּל הַיּוֹם תְּשִׁיבֶנּוּ לוֹ, וּכְבֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ תִּקָּחֶנּוּ:
At sunset. If it is a night garment. If it is a day garment, return it in the morning. That is already written in “These are the laws” — “Until sunset, return it to him.” Throughout the day, return it to him, at sunset, you may take it.
וברכך. וְאִם אֵינוֹ מְבָרֶכְךָ, מִכָּל מָקוֹם ולך תהיה צדקה (ספרי):
And bless you. And even if he does not bless you, still, “It will be to your credit.”
כי תשה ברעך. תָחֹב בַּחֲבֵרְךָ:
If you become your fellow’s creditor. You obligate your fellow.
