Verse 19. Usury] See on "Lev. xxv. 36".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother , etc.] 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 25:36-37”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-25 - It is honourable to shelter and protect the weak, provided they are no wicked. Proselytes and converts to the truth, should be treated with particular tenderness, that they may have no temptation to return to the world. We cannot honour God with our substance, unless it be honestly and honourably come by. It must not only be considered what we give, but how we got it. Where the borrower gets, or hopes to get, it is just that the lender should share the gain; but to him that borrow for necessary food, pity must be showed. That which is gone out of the lips, as a solemn and deliberate vow, must not be recalled, but tho shalt keep and perform it punctually and fully. They were allowed to pluck and eat of the corn or grapes that grew by the road side; onl they must not carry any away. This law intimated what great plenty of corn and wine they should have in Canaan. It provided for the suppor of poor travellers, and teaches us to be kind to such, teaches us to be ready to distribute, and not to think every thing lost that is give away. Yet it forbids us to abuse the kindness of friends, or to tak advantage of what is allowed. Faithfulness to their engagements shoul mark the people of God; and they should never encroach upon others __________________________________________________________________
