20 Az idegentõl vehetsz kamatot, de a te atyádfiától ne végy kamatot, hogy megáldjon téged az Úr, a te Istened mindenben, a mire kinyujtod kezedet, azon a földön, a melyre bemégy, hogy bírjad azt.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 20. Amongst those who are external, it is permitted to do good for the sake of reward; but not amongst those who are internal or spiritual: for it is by doing good without expectation of reward that the Divine Love and Wisdom become conjoined to the soul in all its efforts after holiness, which will then be attained in those heavenly states to which the soul is being led.
