DE-15:1 At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a
release.
DE-15:2 And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor
that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it]; he
shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother;
because it is called the LORD'S release.
DE-15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that]
which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
DE-15:4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD
shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:
DE-15:5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I
command thee this day.
DE-15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee:
and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow;
and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not
reign over thee.
DE-15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren
within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine
hand from thy poor brother:
DE-15:8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt
surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he
wanteth.
DE-15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart,
saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and
thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him
nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin
unto thee.
DE-15:10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not
be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this
thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in
all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
DE-15:11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land:
therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand
wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy
land.
DE-15:12 [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman,
be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the
seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
DE-15:13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou
shalt not let him go away empty:
DE-15:14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and
out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith
the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
DE-15:15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the
land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I
command thee this thing to day.
DE-15:16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go
away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because
he is well with thee;
DE-15:17 Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through
his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And
also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
DE-15:18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him
away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired
servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy
God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
DE-15:19 All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of
thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt
do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the
firstling of thy sheep.
DE-15:20 Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by
year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy
household.
DE-15:21 And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be]
lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not
sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
DE-15:22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the
clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the
hart.
DE-15:23 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt
pour it upon the ground as water.
