Leviticus 25:36 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:36

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.
