He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him,.... The stranger, or one of another nation, shall be in a capacity of lending to the Jew, when the Jew would not be able to lend to the Gentile, his circumstances being so low and mean; to show which is the design of the expression, and not the kindness or unkindness of either; see Deu 28:12,
he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail; he shall be ruler and governor, and thou shalt be subject to him; see Deu 28:13.

Thine olive shall cast his fruit. Some would render here "shall be plundered or rooted out," taking the verb lVyi as the Niph. of llv but the majority regard it as part of the verb lvn and render "shall drop off," or as in the Authorized Version. There is some doubt, however, whether the verb lvn can be used intransitively.
