Deuteronomy 15 : 1 (MKJV)
At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
Deuteronomy 15 : 2 (MKJV)
And this is the manner of the release. Every man who has a loan to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not exact it from his neighbor, or from his brother, because it is called Jehovah's release.
Deuteronomy 15 : 3 (MKJV)
You may exact it from a foreigner, but your hand shall release that which is yours with your brother,
Deuteronomy 15 : 4 (MKJV)
except when there shall be no poor among you. For Jehovah shall greatly bless you in the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it,
Deuteronomy 15 : 5 (MKJV)
only if you carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God to be careful to do all these commandments which I command you today.
Deuteronomy 15 : 6 (MKJV)
For Jehovah your God blesses you as He promised you. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.
Deuteronomy 15 : 7 (MKJV)
If there is among you a poor man of one of your brothers inside any of your gates in your land which Jehovah your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother.
Deuteronomy 15 : 8 (MKJV)
But you shall open your hand wide to him, and shall surely lend him enough for his need, that which he lacks.
Deuteronomy 15 : 9 (MKJV)
Beware that there is not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and your eye may be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing. And he may cry to Jehovah against you, and it is sin to you.
Deuteronomy 15 : 10 (MKJV)
You shall surely give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing Jehovah your God shall bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy 15 : 11 (MKJV)
For the poor shall never cease out of the land. Therefore, I command you saying, You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land.
Deuteronomy 15 : 12 (MKJV)
If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
Deuteronomy 15 : 13 (MKJV)
And when you send him out free from you, you shall not let him go away empty.
Deuteronomy 15 : 14 (MKJV)
You shall richly bestow on him from your flock, and from your grain floor, and from your winepress; with what Jehovah your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
Deuteronomy 15 : 15 (MKJV)
And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today.
Deuteronomy 15 : 16 (MKJV)
And if he says to you, I will not go away from you, because he loves you and your house, because it has been good for him with you;
Deuteronomy 15 : 17 (MKJV)
then you shall take an awl and put it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. And also to your slave-girl you shall do so.
Deuteronomy 15 : 18 (MKJV)
It shall not seem hard to you when you send him away from you free, for he has been worth a double hired servant in serving you six years. And Jehovah your God shall bless you in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 15 : 19 (MKJV)
All the first-born males that come from your herd and from your flock, you shall set apart to Jehovah your God. You shall do no work with the first-born of your bull, nor shear the first-born of your sheep.
Deuteronomy 15 : 20 (MKJV)
You shall eat before Jehovah your God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, you and your household.
Deuteronomy 15 : 21 (MKJV)
And if there is a blemish in it, lame, or blindness, or any ill blemish, you shall not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 15 : 22 (MKJV)
You shall eat it inside your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
Deuteronomy 15 : 23 (MKJV)
Only you shall not eat the blood of it. You shall pour it on the ground like water.
