Deuteronomy 23:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 23

18 Não trarás pagamento de prostituta, nem pagamento de prostituto à casa do SENHOR teu Deus por nenhum voto; porque abominação é ao SENHOR teu Deus tanto um como o outro.

19 Não tomarás de teu irmão juros de dinheiro, nem juros de comida, nem juros de coisa alguma que se costuma tomar.

20 Do estrangeiro tomarás juros, mas de teu irmão não o tomarás, para que te abençoe o SENHOR teu Deus em toda obra de tuas mãos sobre a terra à qual entras para possuí-la.

21 Quando prometeres voto ao SENHOR teu Deus, não tardarás em pagá-lo; porque certamente o exigirá o SENHOR teu Deus de ti, e haveria em ti pecado.

22 Mas quando te abstiveres de prometer, não haverá em ti pecado.
