²⁵ “If you lend money to one of my people among you who is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest.^{(G) 26} If you take your neighbor’s cloak as a pledge,^(H) return it by sunset, ²⁷ because that cloak is the only covering your neighbor has.

³² “‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns,^(A) which they possess. ³³ So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites. ³⁴ But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.^(B)

³⁵ “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor^(C) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them^(D) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. ³⁶ Do not take interest^(E) or any profit from them, but fear your God,^(F) so that they may continue to live among you. ³⁷ You must not lend them money at interest^(G) or sell them food at a profit. ³⁸ I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan^(H) and to be your God.^(I)

³ This is what the Lord says: Do what is just^(A) and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor^(B) the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow,^(C) and do not shed innocent blood^(D) in this place.

¹⁰ Do not oppress the widow^(A) or the fatherless, the foreigner^(B) or the poor.^(C) Do not plot evil against each other.’^(D)
