If he is a poor man, you must not sleep in his pledge; Bible see other translations

“you must not sleep in his pledge.” If the person was truly destitute it would be likely that the only thing that he owned that was of value would be his outer robe, which was both a protection from the weather during the day and the blanket that kept him warm at night.
