9-5 Deuteronomy, Chapter 23, verses 19 and 20. When the Christian Church adopted the Old Testament, it observed this Commandment literally, and as a result refused to charge interest on loans. However, this reversed the order of the Old Testament and permitted the Hebrews to do so. As a result, Bernard of Clairvaux urged the rulers of his day to tolerate the Jews, not because he hated persecution, but in order that Christians might not be constrained to imperil their souls by the sin of usury. (E. P Evans, Evolutionary Ethics, p. 74.) In 1219, the German Emperor Frederick III permitted Jews to dwell in Nuremberg for the same reason.
