Theological / Devotional

Usury. See on Exodus 22:25. This injunction does not refer to ordinary business, trade, or commerce; but was part of the poor law of the land of Israel, and designed only for the benefit of those in actual distress (see on Exodus 22:25; see also Leviticus 25:35, 36; cf. Nehemiah 5:2-5, 10-12).
