Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:11

Theological / Devotional

Thou shalt stand abroad. Literally, “outside thou shalt stand.” God has erected a fence around the poor and humble. The property rights of the needy are as dear to God as are those of the wealthy and socially prominent. Compare the parable of Matthew 18:23-35. God expects the Christian to manifest considerateness in dealing with his brethren.
