Exegesis
The prohibition lōʾ-yigosh {לֹא־יִגֹּשׂ | lōʾ-yiggoš} ‘he shall not exact’ uses two direct-object markers ʾet {אֶת | ʾet} to include both reʾehu {רֵעֵהוּ | reʾêhû} ‘his neighbor’ and ʾakhiv {אָחִיו | ʾāḥîv} ‘his brother’.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:2
And this is the matter of the release: Every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it from his neighbor—his brother—because a release has been proclaimed for the LORD .
