Footnotes
- 71 The meaning of the terms rendered “interest” and “profit” is much debated (see the summaries in P. J. Budd, Leviticus [], 354–55 and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [], ). Verse 37, however, suggests that the first refers to a percentage of money and the second percentage of produce (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], ).
- 72 In form the Hebrew term וְחֵי (vékhey, “shall live”) is the construct plural noun (i.e., “the life of”), but here it is used as the finite verb (cf. v. 35 and §76.i).
- 73 Heb “your money” and “your food.” With regard to “interest” and “profit” see the note on v. above.
