- "If¹ thou lendª° moneyª to [any of]¹ my peopleª [that is]¹ poorª by¹ thee, thou shalt not¹ be¹ to him as an usurer,ª° neither¹ shalt thou layª° upon¹ him usury.ª ... For¹ that¹ [is] his coveringª only,¹ it¹ [is] his raimentª for his skin:ª wherein¹ shall he sleep?ª° and it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ he criethª° unto¹ me, that I will hear;ª° for¹ I¹ [am] gracious.ª" {Exd 22:25-27} + "Thou shalt not¹ lend upon usuryª° to thy brother;ª usuryª of money,ª usuryª of victuals,ª usuryª of any¹ thingª that¹ is lent upon usury:ª° ... Unto a strangerª thou mayest lend upon usury;ª° but unto thy brotherª thou shalt not¹ lend upon usury:ª° that¹ the LORDª thy Godª may blessª° thee in all¹ that thou settestª thine handª to in¹ the landª whither¹¹ thou¹ goestª° to possessª° it." {Deu 23:19-20}
