Footnotes

  1. 15:5 Lends no money at interest: lending money in the Old Testament was often seen as assistance to the poor in their distress, not as an investment; making money off the poor by charging interest was thus forbidden (Ex 22:24; Lv 25:36–37; Dt 23:20).

Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things (A)shall never be moved.
