Hannah's son Samuel is called a "loan" lent to the LORD, since she gave him to serve at the sanctuary. Interpretation: The rabbis see lending to the needy as a great mitzvah, higher than giving charity, since it helps a person stand on his own feet. They taught that the lender must respect the borrower's home and privacy. Hannah's gift of her child is read as a model of dedicating what one loves most to God. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and money lessons, people take a loan from a bank to buy a house (a mortgage) or a car, then pay it back bit by bit with interest. Libraries loan books. In maths problems, loans include amounts, interest and repayments: borrow $100 at 10% interest and pay back $110. Phrases: «take out a loan», «pay back a loan», «on loan», «bank loan», «student loan». ### examples - When thou dost lend thy neighbour any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
