## Sifrei Devarim Paragraph 262

###### Sifrei Devarim 262:1
[Sifrei Devarim 262:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/262:1)

(דברים כג כ) **לֹא תַשִּׁיךְ לְאָחִיךָ**, זֶה לֹוֶה, מַלְוֶה מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (ויקרא כה לו): ״אַל תִּקַּח מֵאִתּוֹ נֶשֶׁךְ וְתַרְבִּית״.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 23:20) "You shall not give interest to your brother": This tells me only of the *borrower* (that he should not *give* interest.) Whence do I derive (the same for) the *lender* (that he should not *take* interest)? From (Vayikra 25:36) "You shall not *take* from him interest."

מִכְּלָל שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״כַּסְפְּךָ״ וְלֹא כֶּסֶף אֲחֵרִים, ״אָכְלֶךָ״ וְלֹא אֹכֶל אֲחֵרִים, אוֹ ״כַּסְפְּךָ״ וְלֹא כֶּסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר, ״אָכְלֶךָ״ וְלֹא אֹכֶל בְּהֵמָה? כְּשֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר **נֶשֶׁךְ כֶּסֶף** לְרַבּוֹת כֶּסֶף מַעֲשֵׂר, **נֶשֶׁךְ אֹכֶל** לְרַבּוֹת אָכְלֵי בְהֵמָה. אֵין לִי אֶלָּא **נֶשֶׁךְ כֶּסֶף נֶשֶׁךְ אֹכֶל**, מִנַּיִן לְרַבּוֹת כָּל דָּבָר? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **נֶשֶׁךְ כָּל דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁךְ**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Vayikra 25:37: "Your money you shall not give him on interest, and on increase you shall not give your food."): From "your money," I derive: *your* money, but not that of others (i.e., gentiles); "*your* food," but not that of others. — But perhaps (the inference should be) "*your* money," but not that of *ma'aser* (the tithe); "*your* food," but not that of beasts! — (No, for "interest of money" (Devarim, *Ibid*.) *includes* money of *ma'aser* (as interdicted); "interest of food" *includes* food of beasts. This tells me only of interest of money and interest of food (as interdicted). Whence do I derive the same for any kind of interest? From (*Ibid*.) "interest of anything that can be (construed as) interest."

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן שֶׁלֹּא יֹאמַר לוֹ: צֵא וּשְׁאַל שְׁלוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, אוֹ דַּע אִם בָּא אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי מִמָּקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **נֶשֶׁךְ כָּל דָּבָר אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁךְ**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
R. Shimon says: Whence is it derived that he (the lender) should not tell him (the borrower): Go and greet that man, or: Find out if that man has come from his place? From "interest of any *thing* ("*devar*," like "*dibbur*" [speech]).
