Fallen in decay, Heb. his hand wavereth, of faileth or is decayed so that he hath not power to get or keep wealth, as the phrase is, Deuteronomy 8:18; as on the contrary, when a man is able, his hand is said to attain and find sufficiency, as here above, Leviticus 25:26. Relieve him, Heb. strengthen him, comfort his heart, and strengthen his hand. A sojourner; understand it of proselytes only, for of other strangers they were permitted to take usury, Deuteronomy 23:20.
