Leviticus 25:36

25:36 Do not take interest or profit from him, ¹  but you must fear your God and your brother must live ²  with you.

Leviticus 25:48

25:48 after he has sold himself he retains a right of redemption. ³  One of his brothers may redeem him,

[25:36]  ¹ tn The meaning of the terms rendered “interest” and “profit” is much debated (see the summaries in P. J. Budd, Leviticus [NCBC], 354-55 and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 178). Verse 37, however, suggests that the first refers to a percentage of money and the second percentage of produce (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 421).

[25:36]  ² tn In form the Hebrew term וְחֵי (vÿkhey, “shall live”) is the construct plural noun (i.e., “the life of”), but here it is used as the finite verb (cf. v. 35 and GKC 218 §76.i).

[25:48]  ³ tn Heb “right of redemption shall be to him.”
