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 le cobres intereses ni obtengas una ganancia a costa de él. En cambio, muestra tu temor a Dios al permitirle que viva contigo como si fuera un pariente.

37 Recuerda, no le cobres intereses sobre el dinero que le prestes ni obtengas una ganancia con los alimentos que le vendas.

38 Yo soy el Señor
tu Dios, quien te sacó de la tierra de Egipto para darte la tierra de Canaán y para ser tu Dios.

39 »Si uno de tus hermanos israelitas se empobrece y se ve obligado a venderse a ti, no lo trates como a un esclavo.

40 En cambio, trátalo como a obrero contratado o como a un residente temporal que vive contigo, y trabajará para ti únicamente hasta el año de jubileo.
