Now is a good time to do a Mitzvah
- Prohibition
54
Do not lend anything to a Jew at interest, be it money or something to eat or other things.
“You shall not give him money and charge interest nor take food provisions in usury.”
Vayikra 25:37
The term Interest and Usury means the same thing but divided into two to make the lender doubly liable. Baba Metzia p60
The lender violates - 53 “not to put interest to him and additionally “not to take interest or increase from him” Vayikra 25:36
The nature of man is to charge interest and requires effort to remove this from himself.
In effect everywhere, in every time for men and women
