On Lending

Exodus 22:25 -"If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you,you are not to act as a creditor to him; you shall not charge him interest.
"Lev 25:36 Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you.
Lev 25:37 You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.
Neh 5:7 After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.
Neh 5:10 I also, [with] my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury!
Psa 15:5 He [who] does not put out his money at usury, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these [things] shall never be moved.
Pro 28:8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
Eze 18:8 If he has not exacted usury Nor taken any increase, [But] has withdrawn his hand from iniquity [And] executed true judgment between man and man;
Eze 18:13 If he has exacted usury Or taken increase-- Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him.
Eze 18:17 [Who] has withdrawn his hand from the poor* [And] not received usury or increase, But has executed My judgments And walked in My statutes-- He shall not die for the iniquity of his father; He shall surely live!
Eze 22:12 In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten Me," says the Lord GOD.
Now take a look at Ezekial 18:13 again.Eze 18:13 If he has exacted usury Or taken increase-- Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him.
This says that if you do take interest from you "countrymen" what we call today family. Then you will die.
