Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:10

Theological / Devotional

Into his house. A legal provision for the protection of the poor. His home and its contents would be of small material value, and would consist of only the barest of necessities. Such a family would probably own nothing more than their clothes, a few pots, and a primitive grinding mill, in addition, perhaps, to house and land. Yet such a home was to be respected and to remain inviolate. It had little to offer as security for a loan (see Exodus 22:26, 27), but it was not to be abused as something of little consequence. The owner would come to the door and display what he could offer as security. The lender was not to enter the home to pick and choose what he wished to take.
