Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 23 of Deuteronomy. Laws concerning escaped slaves, cultic prostitution, interest, and the fulfillment of vows regulate different forms of economic and religious relationships. An escaped slave must not automatically be returned to his former master, while cultic prostitution is prohibited. Vows, meanwhile, must be fulfilled seriously, and the poor must not be denied access to the produce of the fields.
