Interest. .CÆLÞÆð
However, now that it is vocalized ó−ÌíGÍêÖñ ,ó−ÌíGÍêÖñþÔôÖêÓLî−ÖLÐ×Ô¼
[CÓLÓò has the meaning of:] “interest” ³−ÌaÌþ
it is not necessary to define it with the word “other.” ,ó−ÌþÑìÎêLÑþÖõÐñC−ÌþÖ®ö−Ñê
because it is (³Ô×−ÌLÐòÌ×) like the bite of a snake LÖìÖò³Ô×−ÌLÐòÌ×ê−ÌíÓL
For wherever the letters ’ñ or ’ë or ’í ê"ÑíÐî ³"−Ñëe ð"ÓôÖññÖkÓL

and, suddenly, it burgeons and swells Ô ìÑõBòÐî¬ÑaЬÔëÐô êeí óBêгÌõe

þÖaÐðÌôÐñ (to a desert), þ−̼Ðñ (to a city), ,þ−̼Ðñ,þÖaÐðÌôÐñ
So it is with interest: ³−ÌaÌþCÖk
it is necessary to define which king, ,CÓñÓôíÓï−ÑêÐñLÑþÖõÐñC−ÌþÖ®
He (the borrower) feels nothing L−ÌbÐþÔô Bò−Ñê

it is necessary to define which ones, ,íÓï−ÑêÐñLÑþÖõÐñC−ÌþÖ®
Wherever the term íÖñÖëÎì appears íÖñÖëÎì öBLÐññÖk
for if it (ó−Ì×ÖñÐôÌñ) were not defined ,LÑþÖõÐô Bò−ÑêóÌêÐî
it does not refer to security [taken] öBkÐLÔô Bò−Ñê
it would refer to all kings. ,¼ÖôÐLÔôÐaó−Ì×ÖñÐôñÖk
at the time the loan is made ,íÖêÖîÐñÔí³Ô¼ÐLÌa
Similarly ó−ÌíGêÑñ (to gods) would include all gods Z¼ÖôÐLÔôÐaó−ÌíGÍêñÖkó−ÌíGêÑñöÑk

as in: CÓñÓnÔñ (to the king), þÖaÐ ðÌnÔñ (to the desert) ,þÖaÐðÌnÔñ ,CÓñÓnÔñBôÐk

40 Tanchuma 9; Sh. Rab. 31, 6. 41 There are two kinds of öBkÐLÔô—“security”: 1. Security taken at the time of the
loan as insurance that the loan will be repaid. If the borrower fails to repay the loan the lender may keep the Why is óÖþÏìÖ− written here? óÖþÏìÖ−þÔôÍêÓòíÖnÖñ
security in lieu of the loan. 2. Security taken when the loan comes due and the borrower has not paid. This is
done through the court even against the will of the borrower. In this case the lender must intermittently return the 17 Tehillim 86, 8. 18 The patach being in place of the definite article ’í—i.e., “the gods that were prohibited to you
security, as the verse goes on to explain. This latter type of öBkÐLÔô is called íÖñÖëÎì. elsewhere.”
