Usury
From BibleWiki
the sum paid for the use of money, hence interest; not, as in the modern sense, exorbitant interest. The Jews were forbidden to exact usury (Lev 25:36f), only, however, in their dealings with each other (Deut 23:19f). The violation of this law was viewed as a great crime (Ps 155; Prov 28:8; Jer 15:10). After the Return, and later, this law was much neglected (Neh 5:7ff).
