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 (Deu 24:10,11).

(2.) A mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a pledge, could not be kept over night (Exd 22:26,27).

(3.) A debt could not be exacted during the Sabbatic year (Deu 15:1-15).

For other laws bearing on this relation see Lev 25:14, 32, 39; Mat 18:25, 34.

(4.) A surety was liable in the same way as the original debtor (Pro 11:15; 17:18).
