If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Si le prestas dinero a alguno de mi pueblo que es pobre y vive cerca de ti, no actúes como usurero con él, y no le cobres interés.
Dios prohíbe cobrar interés cuando prestamos dinero a los pobres de nuestro pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Exodus, God was giving the Israelites a set of laws to guide their society after their deliverance from Egypt, as they formed a nation in the wilderness. These laws addressed everyday issues like lending money, prohibiting usury, charging interest on loans, to protect the poor from exploitation, which was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern cultures that often led to severe debt and social inequality. This command reflected God's broader emphasis on justice and care for the vulnerable within the Israelite community.
