At the end
of every seven
years
thou shalt make
a release.
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.

Of a foreigner
thou mayest exact
it again: but that which is thine with thy brother
thine hand
shall release;
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:

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.
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.
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:

But thou shalt open
thine hand
wide
unto him, and shalt surely
lend
him sufficient
for his need,
in that which he wanteth.
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.

Thou shalt surely

Thou shalt open

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.
And when thou sendest
him out free
from thee, thou shalt not let him go away
empty:
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.

And thou shalt remember

thee: therefore I command
thee this thing
to day.
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;
Then thou shalt take
an aul,
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.

And if there be any blemish

thou shalt not sacrifice

thy God.
Thou shalt eat
it within thy gates:
the unclean

person shall eat it alike,
as the roebuck,
and as the hart.
Only thou shalt not eat
the blood
thereof; thou shalt pour
it upon the ground
as water.
