Midrash su Levitico 25:38

אֲנִ֗י יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹ֣הֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי אֶתְכֶ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם לָתֵ֤ת לָכֶם֙ אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן לִהְי֥וֹת לָכֶ֖ם לֵאלֹהִֽים׃ (ס)

Sono il Signore tuo Dio, che ti ho fatto uscire dal paese d'Egitto, per darti il ​​paese di Canaan, per essere il tuo Dio.

Sifra

3) "and your brother shall live with you": This was expounded by Ben Patori: If two men were walking along the road and one of them had only a kiton of water — If one of them drinks it, he will reach the settlement; if both of them drink it, they will both die — Ben Patori expounded: Let them both drink it and die, it being written "and your brother shall live with you" (i.e., "as you do"). R. Akiva said to him "and your brother shall live with you" — your life comes before that of your neighbor. (Vayikra 25:37) ("Your money you shall not give him on interest, and on increase you shall not give your food.") "your money": and not the money of others (i.e., gentiles); "and your food": and not that of others. — But perhaps (the meaning is) "your money," but not the money of ma'aser; "your food," but not animal food! (This cannot be maintained, for it is written [Devarim 23:20]) "interest of money" — to include the money of ma'aser; "interest of food" — to include animal food. "and on increase you shall not give your food. (Devarim 23:38) I am the L–rd" — whence they stated: One who takes upon himself the yoke of (shunning) interest takes upon himself the yoke of Heaven, and one who divests himself of the yoke of (shunning) interest divests himself of the yoke of Heaven. (Vayikra 25:38) ("I am the L–rd your G d, who took you out of the land of Egypt to give to you the land of Canaan, to be a G d to you.") "I am the L–rd your G d, who took you out": It is on this condition that I took you out of the land of Egypt — that you take upon yourselves the mitzvah of (shunning) interest. For all who acknowledge the mitzvah of (shunning) interest acknowledge the exodus from Egypt, and all who deny the mitzvah of (shunning) interest, it is as if they would deny the exodus from Egypt.
