37 No le darás tu dinero á usura, ni tu vitualla á ganancia:

38 Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para daros la tierra de Canaán, para ser vuestro Dios.

39 Y cuando tu hermano empobreciere, estando contigo, y se vendiere á ti, no le harás servir como siervo:

40 Como criado, como extranjero estará contigo; hasta el año del jubileo te servirá.

41 Entonces saldrá de contigo, él y sus hijos consigo, y volverá á su familia, y á la posesión de sus padres se restituirá.
