15 “If slaves run away from their owners and come to you for protection, do not send them back.
16 They may live in any of your towns that they choose, and you are not to treat them harshly.
17 “No Israelite, man or woman, is to become a temple prostitute.
18 Also, no money earned in this way may be brought into the house of the Lord your God in fulfillment of a vow. The Lord hates temple prostitutes.
19 “When you lend money or food or anything else to Israelites, do not charge them interest.
20 You may charge interest on what you lend to foreigners, but not on what you lend to Israelites. Obey this rule, and the Lord your God will bless everything you do in the land that you are going to occupy.
21 “When you make a vow to the Lord your God, do not put off doing what you promised; the Lord will hold you to your vow, and it is a sin not to keep it.
