So you will plunder the Egyptians.”Exodus 11:2Now announce to the people that men and women alike should ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold.”Exodus 12:35Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.Exodus 22:14If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.Exodus 22:15If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.Nehemiah 5:1About that time there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.Nehemiah 5:2Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous. We must get grain in order to eat and stay alive.”Nehemiah 5:3Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to get grain during the famine.”Nehemiah 5:4Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.Nehemiah 5:5We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless to redeem them because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”Nehemiah 5:6When I heard their outcry and these complaints, I became extremely angry,Nehemiah 5:7and after serious thought I rebuked the nobles and officials, saying, “You are exacting usury from your own brothers!” So I called a large assembly against them Nehemiah 5:8and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.Nehemiah 5:9So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our foreign enemies?Nehemiah 5:10I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.Nehemiah 5:11Please restore to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the percentage of the money, grain, new wine, and oil that you have been assessing them.”Nehemiah 5:12“We will restore it,” they replied, “and will require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and required of the nobles and officials an oath that they would do what they had promised.Nehemiah 5:13I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “May God likewise shake out of his house and possessions every man who does not keep this promise. May such a man be shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said, “Amen,” and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.Psalm 37:21The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are gracious and giving.Proverbs 22:7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.Matthew 5:42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
