Thematic Bible
Usury or interest » The jews » Forbidden to take, from brethren specially when poor
"If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; neither shall you charge him interest.
"'If your brother has become poor, and his hand can't support him among you; then you shall uphold him. He shall live with you like an alien and a temporary resident. Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God; that your brother may live among you. You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.
