જો કોઈ માણસ ગરીબ હોય તો તેની ગીરેવે મૂકેલી વસ્તુ લઈને તમે ઊંઘી જશો નહિ.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण २४:१२
और यदि वह मनुष्य कंगाल हो, तो उसका बन्धक अपने पास रखे हुए न सोना;

In context

10When you lend your neighbor any kind of loan, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

11You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you lend shall bring the pledge outside to you.

12If he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge.

13You shall surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment and bless you. It shall be righteousness to you before the LORD your God.

14You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates.
