Assisting the poor

Lev 25:35–38

35If a fellow citizen becomes poor and is unable to survive beside you, then you must support that person and allow him to live with you like a foreigner might.[ref] 36You mustn’t charge that person any interest or make a profit from him, but you must respect and obey your god, and your fellow citizen can continue to live with you. 37If you loan him money, don’t charge interest or make a profit from his food.[ref] 38I am your god Yahweh who brought you all out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim) to give you the Kanaan region and to be your god.
