Lending is a practice that is addressed in various contexts throughout the Bible, often highlighting principles of generosity, compassion, and justice. Old Testament References The concept of lending is addressed in the Mosaic Law, which provides guidelines for how Israelites should lend to one another. In <a href="/deuteronomy/15-7.htm">Deuteronomy 15:7-8</a> , it is written: "If there is a poor man among your brothers within any of the gates in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you are not to harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother. Instead, you are to open your hand to him and freely loan him whatever he needs." This passage emphasizes the importance of generosity and the moral obligation to assist those in need. The Old Testament also includes instructions regarding interest on loans. In <a href="/exodus/22-25.htm">Exodus 22:25</a> , it states: "If you lend money to one of My people among you who is poor, you must not act as a creditor to him; you are not to charge him interest." This prohibition against charging interest to fellow Israelites underscores the principle of compassion and fairness in financial dealings. New Testament Teachings In the New Testament, Jesus expands on the principles of lending in the context of love and mercy. In <a href="/luke/6-34.htm">Luke 6:34-35</a> , Jesus teaches: "And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." Here, Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard of generosity, one that reflects the character of God Himself. Principles of Lending The biblical approach to lending is rooted in several key principles: 1. Generosity and Compassion: Lending should be an act of kindness and support, especially towards those in need. The Bible encourages believers to be open-handed and willing to help others without expecting anything in return. 2. Justice and Fairness: The prohibition against charging interest to fellow Israelites highlights the importance of fairness in lending practices. This principle is intended to prevent exploitation and ensure that lending serves as a means of support rather than oppression. 3. Love and Mercy: Jesus' teachings in the New Testament elevate the act of lending to an expression of love and mercy, encouraging believers to lend even to those who may not repay, reflecting God's grace and kindness. Conclusion The biblical perspective on lending is deeply intertwined with the values of generosity, justice, and love. It challenges believers to approach lending not merely as a financial transaction but as an opportunity to demonstrate God's character and to serve others selflessly.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the New Testament "lend" translations two Greek verbs, daneizo, "to lend money" (<a href="/luke/6-34.htm">Luke 6:34, 35</a>, usually in commercial sense); kichremi, "to lend (as a friendly act)" (<a href="/luke/11-5.htm">Luke 11:5</a>).The substantive "loan," she'elah, occurs only once in the Old Testament (<a href="/1_samuel/2-20.htm">1 Samuel 2:20</a> the King James Version and the English Revised Version), not at all in the New Testament. 2. History of Lending in the Bible and Apocrypha: (1) Lending on interest to the poor is prohibited in the code in <a href="/exodus/22-25.htm">Exodus 22:25</a>. (2) In the code in <a href="/deuteronomy/15-1.htm">Deuteronomy 15:1-6</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/23-19.htm">Deuteronomy 23:19, 20</a>; 24:10, 11; 28:12, 44, borrowing and lending are taken for granted as existing in Israel, but the creditor is required to release his Hebrew brother as debtor in the 7th year (either the cancellation of the loan (so in Jewish literature and early Christian scholars) or suspension of payment that year (so most modern scholars)), though he may exact payment from a foreigner. Israel may lend, and will be able to lend, because of Yahweh's blessing, to other nations, but must not borrow from them. A pledge, or security, must not be taken in person by the creditor from the house of the debtor, nor kept overnight, if the debtor be poor. (3) The code in <a href="/leviticus/25-35.htm">Leviticus 25:35-38</a> requires that the Israelite receive no interest from his poor brother, because of the goodness of Yahweh to Israel. (4) Notwithstanding the prohibition of the early laws against lending on interest or usury, the same seems to have become common in Israel before the exile (<a href="/isaiah/24-2.htm">Isaiah 24:2</a> <a href="/jeremiah/15-10.htm">Jeremiah 15:10</a>), was practiced on the return, and was an evil to be corrected by Nehemiah (<a href="/nehemiah/5-7.htm">Nehemiah 5:7, 10</a>). (5) According to <a href="/psalms/37-26.htm">Psalm 37:26</a>; <a href="/psalms/112-5.htm">Psalm 112:5</a> <a href="/proverbs/19-17.htm">Proverbs 19:17</a>, lending to the needy was regarded as a mark of the pious Hebrew, but no interest is to be charged. (6) According to Apocrypha (The Wisdom of Solomon 15:16; Sirach 8:12; 18:33; 20:15, 29; 4 Maccabees 2:8), borrowing is discouraged, and lending is exalted as a mark of the merciful man. (7) Jesus teaches that His followers should lend, even to enemies, to men from whom they have no reasonable hope of expecting anything in return, because thus to do is to be like the Most High (<a href="/luke/6-34.htm">Luke 6:34, 35</a>). He did not discuss lending for commercial purposes, and so does not necessarily forbid it. LITERATURE.
