Leviticus 25

Of Poor Countrymen

35 ‘Now if your fellow countryman becomes poor and his hand falters with you [that is, he has trouble repaying you for something], then you are to help and sustain him, [with courtesy and consideration] like [you would] a stranger or a temporary resident [without property], so that he may live among you. [1 John 3:17] 36 Do not charge him usurious interest, but fear your God [with profound reverence], so your countryman may [continue to] live among you.
