Gill's Notes on the Bible
He [that] hath not given forth upon usury,.... Money, victuals, or any other thing, which was forbidden the Jews to take of their brethren, though they might of strangers, Deuteronomy 23:19;
neither hath taken any increase: or interest; or rather something over and above the interest money or use, as a gratuity for lending it upon the said interest:
[that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity; not only that now mentioned, but all others; who, having inadvertently engaged in that which is sinful, as soon as it appears to him to be so, gets out of it, and abstains from it as soon as possible:
hath executed true judgment between man and man; whether in office as a judge, who sits on the bench for that purpose; or as an arbitrator chosen to decide matters in controversy between one man and another, and that does everything just and right between man and man.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Usury - is the profit exacted for the loan of money, âincreaseâ that which is taken for goods; both are forbidden Leviticus 25:36; Deuteronomy 23:19. The placing out of capital at interest for commercial purposes is not taken into consideration. The case is that of money lent to a brother in distress.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 8:10
10. Hath not given forth upon usury — ×× ×©× ×× ××ª× beneshech lo yitten. × ×©× nasach signifies to bite; usury is properly so termed, because it bites into and devours the principal. Usury signifies, with us, exacting unlawful interest for money; and taking the advantage of a man's necessities to advance him cash on exorbitant profit. This bites the receiver in his property, and the lender in his salvation.
11. Neither hath taken any increase — In lending has not required more than was lent; and has not taken that product of the cash lent, which was more than the value for its use. This may be a part of the tenth article.
12. That hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity — Never associates with those who act contrary to justice and equity; his hand or influence being never found among evil workers.
13. Hath executed true judgment between man and man — Being neither swayed by prejudice, fear, nor favour.
These thirteen points concern his social and civil relations.
