6. buy . . . poor for silver . . . pair of
shoes--that is, that we may compel the needy for money, or any
other thing of however little worth, to sell themselves to us as
bondmen, in defiance of
Le 25:39;
the very thing which brings down God's judgment
(Am 2:6).
sell the refuse of . . . wheat--which contains no nutriment, but which
the poor eat at a low price, being unable to pay for flour.
