#661: You Are the Poor Person

Rashi on Parashat Mishpatim, Shemot/Exodus 22:24

The difference between poor and rich is often a matter of chance.

Shemot/Exodus 22:24

אִם־כֶּ֣סֶף ׀ תַּלְוֶ֣ה אֶת־עַמִּ֗י אֶת־הֶֽעָנִי֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹא־תִהְיֶ֥ה ל֖וֹ כְּנֹשֶׁ֑ה לֹֽא־תְשִׂימ֥וּן עָלָ֖יו נֶֽשֶׁךְ׃

If you lend money to My people, to the poor among you, do not act toward them as a creditor; exact no interest from them.
