Deuteronomy 23 · No interest from a brother, and vows kept

Deuteronomy 23:21 [23:20]

Cover of Deuteronomy — ZARZA Bible

You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in everything you undertake in the land you are entering to possess.

Deuteronomy 23:21 [23:20] · ZARZA Bible

Traditional numbering: 23:20

In context

19Do not bring the earnings of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of Yahweh your God to pay any vow, for both are detestable to Yahweh your God. 20Do not charge your brother interest, whether on silver, on food, or on anything else that could earn interest. 21You may charge a foreigner interest, but not your brother, so that Yahweh your God may bless you in everything you undertake in the land you are entering to possess. 22If you make a vow to Yahweh your God, do not be slow to keep it, for Yahweh your God will surely require it of you, and failing to pay would be a sin. 23But if you refrain from making a vow, it is no sin.
