Deuteronomy 23:17

See Romans 1:27 note on GAYS (Homosexuals, Sodomites) and Lesbians In The Bible

Verse 19

Deuteronomy 23:19

Deuteronomy 23:19-20 This prohibition of lending money at interest to a fellow Israelite is qualified by Exodus 22:25 and Leviticus 25:35-36, which indicates that it restricts its application to the poor and prevents further impoverishment, but it was allowed for foreigners who were engaged in trade and commerce to enlarge their wealth. According to Deuteronomy 15:1-2, it is also clear that money could be legitimately lent in the normal course of business, subject to forgiveness of all unpaid debt in the sabbatical year (cf. Deuteronomy 24:10). - FSB
