NET © Notes |
1 sn He does not charge interest. Such an individual is truly generous, and not simply concerned with making a profit. 2 tn Heb “a bribe against the innocent he does not take.” For other texts condemning the practice of a judge or witness taking a bribe, see Exod 23:8; Deut 16:19; 27:25; 1 Sam 8:3; Ezek 22:12; Prov 17:23. 3 tn Heb “does these things.” |
