Levítico 25:38

38 YO SOY vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios

Levítico 25:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 25:38

I [am] the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land
of Egypt
Where they had been strangers and sojourners, and therefore should be kind to such in necessitous circumstances, and relieve them, and especially their brethren; and where God had given them favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they had lent them jewels of gold and silver, and raiment, and therefore they should lend freely to persons in distress; and who had brought them out from thence, that they might take upon them his commandments, though they might be grievous, as Jarchi observes; and this, it may be remarked, is the preface to the ten commandments: to give you the land of Canaan;
freely, a land flowing with milk and honey; and therefore, since he had dealt so bountifully with them, and had given them plenty of good things, they need not grudge giving to their poor brethren, and others in necessitous circumstances: [and] to be your God;
their covenant God, to bless and prosper them, protect and defend them.

Levítico 25:38 In-Context

36 No tomarás usura de él, ni aumento; mas tendrás temor de tu Dios, y tu hermano vivirá contigo
37 No le darás tu dinero a usura, ni tus víveres a ganancia
38 YO SOY vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios
39 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, estando contigo, y se vendiere a ti, no le harás servir como esclavo
40 Como criado, como extranjero estará contigo; hasta el año del jubileo te servirá
