Redemption of the Poor

Leviticus 25
35 And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then
thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God;
that thy brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money
upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 38 I am the LORD your
God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land
of Canaan, and to be your God.

Isaiah 56:3a
Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people.

As the usury and loan with high interest are great problems in today's
world and do not fight inflation but increase it - inflation is fought by wihtdrawing the surplus printed money without the coverage in
the production of material goods or anincrease in added value.

But we have to see that the Jews were traditionally inclined to
oppression by usury ("lihva" in Slavonic languages) and giving loans with
high interest.

The Law of Moses prohibits usury of fellow Hebrews, but it never
stopped them, so the LORD God punished Israel with the Babylon
captivity. Isaiah extends the faith in One God to strangers who
embrace faith in the LORD, not just the physical offspring of the
Jacob called Israel (Isaiah 56:3a). As Isaiah said that God did not
"separate them from His people", they were expected to be exempt
from usury and loan with the interest.

Today it would include all believers in God of Abraham. Believers in
Allah agree that He is the God of Abraham [Arabic: Ibrahim].
Most Christians agree that the name of the LORD God is Jehovah,
that is the same God.

This means that the believers in God of Abraham by Isaiah 56:3 are
considered not lower than the Jews by physical inheritance. They
should also be exempt from usury.

But as the usury makes the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, with the rich just printing money and poor have to work, learn and save
for it to buy livelihood - the System spontaneously degrades into a loss
of freedom worldwide and slavery to new pharaohs. Effectively cancelling
escape and deliverance from Egypt.

in the name of the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
Amen
