Exodus 22:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 22:25

23 If you afflict them in any way, and they ^acry at all to Me, I will surely ^bhear their cry;

24 and My ^awrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; ^byour wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

25 ^a“If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him ^binterest.

26 ^aIf you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.

27 For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am ^agracious.

28 ^a“You shall not revile God, nor curse a ^bruler of your people.

29 “You shall not delay to offer ^athe first of your ripe produce and your juices. ^bThe firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
