SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:36
No tomarás usura de él, ni aumento; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios, y tu hermano vivirá contigo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 25:36
Verse 36. Take thou no usury of him] Usury, at present, signifies unlawful interest for money. Properly, it means the reward or compensation given for the use of a thing, but is principally spoken of money. For the definition of the original term, See the note on "Exod. xxii. 25".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 35-38 - Poverty and decay are great grievances, and very common; the poor y have always with you. Thou shalt relieve him; by sympathy, pitying the poor; by service, doing for them; and by supply, giving to the according to their necessity, and thine ability. Poor debtors must no be oppressed. Observe the arguments here used against extortion: "Fea thy God." Relieve the poor, "that they may live with thee;" for the may be serviceable to thee. The rich can as ill spare the poor, as the poor can the rich. It becomes those that have received mercy to sho mercy.
