Deu 24:13 — In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

deliver		Exd 22:26,27; Job 24:7,8; Job 29:11-13; Job 31:16-20; Eze 18:7,12,16; Eze 33:15; Amo 2:8; 2Ti 1:16-18
the sun		Deu 24:15; 2Cr 9:13,14; Eph 4:26
in his own raiment		The raiment here referred to was most likely the same as the hyke of the Arabs, a long kind of blanket, resembling a Highland plaid, generally about six yards in length, and five or six feet broad; in which they often carry their provisions, as well as wrap themselves in, in the day, and sleep in at night, it being their only substitute for a bed. How necessary, then, it was to restore the hyke to a poor man before the going down of the sun, that he might have something to repose on, will sufficiently appear from these considerations.
shall be		Deu 6:25; Deu 15:9,10; Gen 15:6; Psa 106:30,31; Psa 112:9; Isa 58:8; Dan 4:27; Jam 1:27; Jam 2:13-23
