Leviticus 25:35-39 New King James Version (NKJV)

35. ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.

36. Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you.

37. You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit.

38. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39. ‘And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave.
