Leviticus 25:35-38

Kindness for Poor Brothers

35“If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, ayou shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. 36 bTake no interest from him or profit, but cfear your God, that your brother may live beside you. 37 dYou shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit. 38 eI am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
