What does Deuteronomy 23:19 mean?

Don’t charge interest when you lend money, food, or anything else to another Israelite. Let them borrow what they need without making a profit off them. Deuteronomy 23:19 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse tells the people not to take advantage of each other financially. Lending should be about helping, not making money from someone else’s need.)
