Intertextuality Pair

Leviticus 25:35 → Exodus 22:25

Allusion

Later text

Leviticus 25:35BSB

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.

Earlier text

Exodus 22:25BSB

If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest.

Significance

Exodus 22:25 prohibits charging interest (נֶשֶׁךְ, neshekh) to the poor, and Leviticus 25:35 integrates this within the Jubilee framework: "Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him… Do not take any interest (נֶשֶׁךְ, neshekh) or profit (מַרְבִּית, marbit) from him" (Lev 25:35-36). Leviticus adds a second term for financial exploitation (marbit, "increase/profit") and grounds the prohibition theologically: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt" (Lev 25:38). The Levitical version transforms the Exodus prohibition from a standalone economic regulation into part of a comprehensive system of economic restoration tied to Jubilee, Sabbath-year release, and the theological premise that God owns the land and its people.
