ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. Hand. That is, he that is hearty and bountiful in lending to his neighbour in his necessity. Challoner.—Fœnus, in this book means simply “lending.” Rondet.—This is a work of mercy, and a sort of alms. Justice requires that the thing should be restored, and if any refuse on purpose, he is as bad as a thief. Worthington.—He who lends will receive usury from the Lord. Proverbs 19:17. Psalms 36:21.—In hand. Rich.
