Thematic Bible
Usury or interest » The jews » Forbidden to take, from brethren specially when poor
“If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest.
'Now in case a countryman of yours becomes poor and his means with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 'Do not take usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your countryman may live with you. 'You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain.
