There also were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and our vineyards.

And likewise I, my brothers, and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please, let’s do without this interest.

Please, give back to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, as well as the hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil that you are charging as interest from them.”
