Deuteronomio 23:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 23:19

Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother
One of the same nation and religion, and who is in poor and necessitous circumstances, and wants either food for himself and family, or money to carry on his husbandry, till such times as the fruits of his ground will bring him in a sufficiency for his support, and the payment of what he borrows, and which is to be lent him without any interest: as the Jews were chiefly employed in husbandry, and not merchandise, they had but little occasion to borrow, and when they did could not afford to pay interest, as persons concerned in merchandise, whose gains are great, are able to do; and it is but reasonable that such persons should; but that the Israelites, when poor and in distress, might not be bowed down under their burdens, this law is made for their relief:

usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent
upon usury;
this takes in all sorts of usury, whether what is lent be money or food, or anything else, no interest was to be taken for it; (See Gill on Leviticus 25:36); (See Gill on Leviticus 25:37).

Deuteronomio 23:19 In-Context

17 »Ningún israelita, sea hombre o mujer, se dedicará a la prostitución ritual del templo.

18 Para cumplir con un juramento, no lleves a la casa del Señor
tu Dios ninguna ofrenda que provenga de la ganancia de un hombre
o de una mujer que se haya prostituido, pues ambos son detestables al Señor
tu Dios.

19 »No cobres intereses por los préstamos que le hagas a otro israelita, sea que le prestes dinero, alimento o cualquier otra cosa.

20 Puedes cobrar intereses a los extranjeros, pero no les cobrarás a los israelitas, para que el Señor
tu Dios te bendiga en todo lo que hagas en la tierra donde estás a punto de entrar y que vas a poseer.

21 »Cuando hagas un voto al Señor
tu Dios, no tardes en cumplir lo que le prometiste. Pues el Señor
tu Dios te exige que cumplas todos tus votos sin demora, o serás culpable de pecado.
