Save, etc. or, To the end that there be no poor among you. Houbigant follows this marginal reading, to which he joins the end of the third verse, considering it as explanatory of the law; as if he had said, `Thou shalt not exact the debt that is due from thy brother, but {thy hand shall release} him, for this reason, {that there may be no poor among you} through your severity.' He justly contends that the phrase {ephes kee}, can here only mean, `to the end that,' being equivalent to the French {afin que.}
