" 'If you lend money [to] my people, [to] the needy with you, you will not be to him as a creditor; you will not {charge him interest}.

You must not take interest or usury from him, but you shall revere your God, and your countryman shall live with you.

You must not give your money to him with interest or give your food for profit.

"{You shall not charge your brother interest on money}, interest on food, or interest on anything that one could lend on interest

You may lend on interest to the foreigner, but to your countryman you may not lend on interest, so that Yahweh your God may bless you {in all your undertakings} in {the land where you are going}, {in order to take possession of it}.

I thought over this in my heart, and then I quarreled with the nobles and the prefects. I said to them, "You yourselves are taking interest from your own brother!" So I called the great assembly against them,

Also, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please stop [taking] this interest.

Please restore to them this day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, their houses, and the interest on the money, the grain, the grape juice, and the olive oil that you have been taking from them."

He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against [the] innocent. He who does these [things] will never be shaken.

He who augments his wealth with interest and with usury gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

[and] {he does not charge interest} and he takes no usury, [and] he holds back his hand from injustice [and] he executes judgment of fairness between {persons},

{He charges interest} and takes usury. Then, shall he live? He shall not live, [for] he did all of these detestable things. Surely he will die! His blood will be on him.

He brings back his hand from iniquity; he does not take interest and usury; he does my regulations; he goes in my statutes. He will not die because of the guilt of his father; he will surely live!
