This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
23:15 Various regulations
15 You mustn’t return any slaves to their master if they escaped and got to you. 16 Allow them to stay in your town and don’t mistreat them.
17 Don’t allow any Israeli man or woman to become a religious[fn] prostitute.[ref] 18 Don’t allow anyone woman or man to bring any part of their wages as a secular prostitute into your god Yahweh’s temple, because both female and male prostitution is abhorrent to him.
19 You mustn’t charge interest to your fellow Israeli, whether it’s money or food or anything else that’s borrowed.[ref] 20 You can charge foreigners interest, but not fellow Israelis so that your god Yahweh will bless your society in everything you do in the land that you’re about to occupy.
23:17 Or, cultic.
Lev 19:29:
Exo 22:25:
25 If you loan money to any my people who are poor, you mustn’t act like an impartial creditor to them—you mustn’t charge them interest.[ref]
Lev 25:36-37:
Deu 15:7-11:
7 In the towns that your god Yahweh is giving you, if it so happens that any of your fellow Israelis are poor, then don’t just ignore them and refuse to help them,[ref] 8 but instead, open your wallet and lend them however much they need. 9 Be careful not to quietly think to yourself that the seventh-year reset is close so they won’t have to pay it back. It would be wrong not to help a fellow Israeli, and if you did and he called out to Yahweh for help, then it would be counted against you as disobedience. 10 Give generously to the poor without getting resentful inside, because then your god Yahweh can bless you in all your work and all your investments. 11 There’ll always be poor people in your country, so I command you to give generously to the poor and needy and your fellow Israelis.[ref]
