Exegesis
The first prohibition employs the negated imperfect lotihyeh {לֹא־תִהְיֶה | lōʾ tîhyēh} with the predicate kanosheh {כַּנֹּשֶׁה | ka-nō-šeh} “creditor,” forming a nominal clause.
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.
