" You shall not charge interest to your brother -- interest on money [or] food [or] anything that is lent out at interest.

"Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

"But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

"[then] an oath of the LORD shall be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept [that,] and he shall not make [it] good.

"the owner of the pit shall make [it] good; he shall give money to their owner, but the dead [animal] shall be his.

'Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.
