A prosperous household supports a poor brother living beside them as a resident, lending silver and food without adding interest or profit. Full measures pass openly across the table while both families share the same dwelling court. A desert road from Egypt leads toward Canaan behind them.

35If your brother becomes poor and his hand falters beside you, then you shall support him; so that he may live beside you as a resident foreigner or a temporary resident.

36Do not take interest or profit from him, but fear your God, and let your brother live with you.

37You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for increase.

38I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
