Verse 36
Take thou no usury of him, or increase ,.... Not only give him somewhat for his present relief, but lend him money to put him in a way of business, to get his living for the future, without requiring any interest for it; See Gill on Exodus 22:25 ,
but fear thy God ; who has given this command, and expects to be obeyed; and who is good, and does good, and should be feared for his goodness' sake; and is omniscient, and knows what is secretly exacted, and will not suffer any exorbitance of this kind to pass unpunished:
that thy brother may live with thee ; which it would be still more difficult for him to do, should usury and increase be taken of him.
Be the first to react on this!
