Leviticus 25:35

Read in context

Leviticus 25:33–37 · Berean Standard Bible

33 So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.

34 But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

35 Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.

36 Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

37 You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
