Redemption Rights for Poor Brothers

³⁵ ‘^(A)Now if a brother of yours becomes poor and his ^[a]means with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a sojourner or a foreign resident, that he may live with you. ^36 (B)Do not take ^[b]usurious interest from him, but fear your God, that your brother may live with you. ³⁷ You shall not give him your silver at interest nor your food for gain.

⁷ “If there is ^(A)a needy one among you, one of your brothers, in any of your gates of the towns in your land which Yahweh your God is giving you, ^(B)you shall not harden your heart nor close your hand from your needy brother; ⁸ but ^(C)you shall freely open your hand to him and shall generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks. ⁹ Beware lest there be a vile ^[a]thought in your heart, saying, ‘^(D)The seventh year, the year of the remission of debts, is near,’ and ^(E)your eye is hostile toward your needy brother, and you give him nothing; then he ^(F)may cry to Yahweh against you, and it will be a sin in you. ¹⁰ You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because ^(G)for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you send forth your hand to do. ^11 (H)For the needy will never cease to be ^[b]in the land; therefore I am commanding you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your afflicted and needy in your land.’
