upon usury
<05392>_,

nor lend
<05414> (8799)

<0400>

for increase
<04768>_.

25:38

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which brought you forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

you the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

[and] to be your God
<0430>_.

And if thy brother
<0251>

[that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,

and be sold

unto thee; thou shalt not compel
<05647> (8799)

thee unto the year
<08141>

And [then] shall he depart
<03318> (8804)

from thee, [both] he and his children

For they [are] my servants
<05650>_,

which I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

of Egypt
<04714>_:

bondmen
<05650>_.

<07287> (8799)

<06531>_;

thy God
<0430>_.
