Clarke's Deuteronomy 24:15 Bible Commentary
He is poor, and setteth his heart upon it - How exceedingly natural is this! The poor servant who seldom sees money, yet finds from his master's affluence that it procures all the conveniences and comforts of life, longs for the time when he shall receive his wages; should his pay be delayed after the time is expired, he may naturally be expected to cry unto God against him who withholds it. See most of these subjects treated at large on Exodus 22:21-27 (note).
Wesley's Deuteronomy 24:15 Bible Commentary
24:15 At this day - At the time appointed, weekly or daily.
