are lending
To lend or extend credit, especially in the sense of providing goods, money, or property with the expectation of future repayment, sometimes specifically with the accrual of interest; in some contexts, to become a creditor. The verb also covers the act of borrowing, though less commonly, and can carry nuances of exacting repayment or demanding restitution, particularly regarding debts. The primary uses in Biblical Hebrew refer both to the lending of assets and the insisting upon repayment or the exaction of interest, often in legal or prophetic admonitions.
