Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
No le cobres intereses a tu hermano israelita por el dinero que le prestes, ni trates de obtener ganancias de él. Más bien, respeta y honra a Dios, para que tu hermano pueda sobrevivir y vivir junto a ti.
Dios prohíbe cobrar intereses a los hermanos israelitas y ordena ayudarlos para que puedan vivir dignamente.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of ancient Israel, God gave laws through Moses to the Israelites as they settled in the Promised Land, emphasizing economic justice and care for the community. Leviticus 25 specifically addresses the Year of Jubilee, a periodic reset where debts were forgiven and land returned to original owners, with this verse prohibiting the charging of interest on loans to fellow Israelites to prevent exploitation and promote equality. This command was part of a broader system designed to reflect God's holiness and protect the vulnerable from falling into perpetual poverty.
