Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} marks both kesef {כֶּסֶף | kə-sef} “silver” and heʿani {הֶעָנִי | hə-ʿā-nî} “the poor,” specifying what is lent and who receives it.
In context — Exodus 22:25
If you lend silver to my poor among you, you shall not assume the role of a creditor, nor impose interest on him.
