Go and teach all nations - Leviticus 25:35-38

Go and teach all nations

Leviticus 25:35-38

People who have a lot of money must lend it to the poor people
v35 An Israelite may become poor. He may not be able to feed his family. You must help him. You would help a visitor or a foreigner in the same way. You must help the man so that he can continue to live among you.
v36 The man must not pay back more than you gave to him. You must obey the Lord.
v37 The person who is feeding the man might give money or food to him. He must not ask for more back than he gave.
v38 I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt. I brought you into this country to be your God.
