[Sifrei Devarim 276:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/276:1)

(דברים כד י) **כִּי תַשֶּׁה בְרֵעֶךָ**, אֵין לִי אֶלָּא מִלְוָה, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת שְׂכַר שָׂכִיר וְהַקָּפַת חֲנוּת? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **מַשַּׁאת מְאוּמָה**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 24:10) "When your neighbor is indebted to you, any kind of debt, do not enter his house to claim his pledge." "When your neighbor is indebted to you": This tells me only of a loan. Whence do I derive (the same for) a laborer's wages and store-credit? From "any kind of debt."

**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**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"do not enter his house": I might think that he could not take a pledge from inside (his house), but that he may do so from (the debtor's possessions) outside; it is, therefore, written (*Ibid*. 11) "and the man who is indebted to you shall bring out to you the pledge outside. I might think that he could enter inside (and wait for the debtor to give him the pledge); it is, therefore, written "Outside shall you stand."
