Exegesis
This verse employs a parallel negative construction using lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ with both bannešekh {בַּנֶּשֶׁךְ | bannešeḵ} ‘interest’ and tarbîṯ {תַרְבִּית | tarbîṯ} ‘profit’, creating balanced prohibitions. The verbs yittēn (Qal imperfect) and yiqqāḥ (Qal imperfect) highlight giving and taking in economic transactions.
In context — Ezekiel 18:8
He does not lend at interest nor take a profit; from injustice he withdraws his hand; he executes true judgment between one person and another.
