Debt:
The Mosaic law encouraged the practice of lending (Deu 15:7; Psa 37:26; Mat 5:42); but it forbade the exaction of interest except from foreigners. Usury was strongly condemned (Pro 28:8; Eze 18:8,13,17; 22:12; Psa 15:5). On the Sabbatical year all pecuniary obligations were cancelled (Deu 15:1-11). These regulations prevented the accumulation of debt.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
