Loans to the Poor

^35 (A)If any Israelites living near you become poor and cannot support themselves, you must provide for them as you would for a hired worker, so that they can continue to live near you. ³⁶ Do not charge Israelites any interest, but obey God and let them live near you. ^37 (B)Do not make them pay interest on the money you lend them, and do not make a profit on the food you sell them.

^19 (A)“When you lend money or food or anything else to Israelites, do not charge them interest. ²⁰ You may charge interest on what you lend to foreigners, but not on what you lend to Israelites. Obey this rule, and the Lord your God will bless everything you do in the land that you are going to occupy.
