Commentary on Exodus 22:7

Theological / Devotional

Stuff. That is, “goods,” or any movable article. Verses 7-13 record the law concerning deposits. Leaving property to the care of another was not unusual in ancient times, where investments were difficult and bankers were few. Those about to travel, especially merchants, did so. This required guarding the goods during the period of absence.
