1. “Should you ever lend on pledge to your kinsman” (Dt.24:10).
I might infer only that
[the subject here is] a lender.
On what basis do I include under this rule
[other kinds of loans,]
such as a worker’s back-wages,
or a shop-keeper’s extension of credit [to a customer]?
The Teaching states:
“A loan secured by a pledge of any kind” (Dt.24:10).
לֹא תָבֹא אֶל בֵּיתוֹ, יָכוֹל לֹא יְמַשְׁכְּנֶנּוּ מִבִּפְנִים אֲבָל יְמַשְׁכְּנֶנּוּ מִבַּחוּץ, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: לַעֲבֹט עֲבֹטוֹ בַּחוּץ. יָכוֹל לֹא יְמַשְׁכְּנֶנּוּ מִבַּחוּץ אֲבָל יְמַשְׁכְּנֶנּוּ מִבִּפְנִים, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: בַּחוּץ תַּעֲמֹד.
2. “You may not enter his house” (Dt.24:10)—
is it possible to say that
[a creditor] may not seize the pledge
while in [the debtor’s] house,
but he may seize the property while outside?
The Teaching states:
“To seize any article of his, you must stand outside” (Dt.24:10).382cf. M.BM.9:13; T.BM.10:8
Is it possible to say that

but he may seize the pledge while inside?
The Teaching states:
“You must stand outside” (Dt.24:10)—
[if so, under what circumstances may the creditor
seize the article serving to secure the loan]?
כְּשֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר וְהָאִישׁ – לְרַבּוֹת שְׁלִיחַ בֵּית דִּין.
When He says:
“Then the man . . . shall bring out the pledged article to you” (Dt.24:11)—
the point is to include the agent of the court
[as the man who may enter the debtor’s
house on behalf of the creditor].
