Deuteronomy 15:1-15

At the end
<07093>
of [every] seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)
a release
<08059>_.
And this [is] the manner
<01697>
of the release
<08059>_:
Every creditor
<01167> <04874> <03027>
that lendeth
<05383> (8686)
[ought] unto his neighbour
<07453>
shall release
<08058> (8800)
[it]; he shall not exact
<05065> (8799)
[it] of his neighbour
<07453>_,
or of his brother
<0251>_;
because it is called
<07121> (8804)
the LORD'S
<03068>
release
<08059>_.
{creditor: Heb. master of the lending of his hand}
Of a foreigner
<05237>
thou mayest exact
<05065> (8799)
[it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother
<0251>
thine hand
<03027>
shall release
<08058> (8686)_;
Save
<0657>
when there shall be no poor
<034>
among you; for the LORD
<03068>
shall greatly
<01288> (8763)
bless
<01288> (8762)
thee in the land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee [for] an inheritance
<05159>
to possess
<03423> (8800)
it: {Save...: or, To the end that there be no poor among you}
Only if thou carefully
<08085> (8800)
hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
to observe
<08104> (8800)
to do
<06213> (8800)
all these commandments
<04687>
which I command
<06680> (8764)
thee this day
<03117>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
blesseth
<01288> (8765)
thee, as he promised
<01696> (8765)
thee: and thou shalt lend
<05670> (8689)
unto many
<07227>
nations
<01471>_,
but thou shalt not borrow
<05670> (8799)_;
and thou shalt reign
<04910> (8804)
over many
<07227>
nations
<01471>_,
but they shall not reign
<04910> (8799)
over thee.
If there be among you a poor man
<034>
of one
<0259>
of thy brethren
<0251>
within any
<0259>
of thy gates
<08179>
in thy land
<0776>
which the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
giveth
<05414> (8802)
thee, thou shalt not harden
<0553> (8762)
thine heart
<03824>_,
nor shut
<07092> (8799)
thine hand
<03027>
from thy poor
<034>
brother
<0251>_:
But thou shalt open
<06605> (8799)
thine hand
<03027>
wide
<06605> (8800)
unto him, and shalt surely
<05670> (8687)
lend
<05670> (8686)
him sufficient
<01767>
for his need
<04270>_,
[in that] which he wanteth
<02637> (8799)_.
Beware
<08104> (8734)
that there be not a thought
<01697>
in thy wicked
<01100>
heart
<03824>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The seventh
<07651>
year
<08141>_,
the year
<08141>
of release
<08059>_,
is at hand
<07126> (8804)_;
and thine eye
<05869>
be evil
<07489> (8804)
against thy poor
<034>
brother
<0251>_,
and thou givest
<05414> (8799)
him nought; and he cry
<07121> (8804)
unto the LORD
<03068>
against thee, and it be sin
<02399>
unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
Thou shalt surely
<05414> (8800)
give
<05414> (8799)
him, and thine heart
<03824>
shall not be grieved
<03415> (8799)
when thou givest
<05414> (8800)
unto him: because
<01558>
that for this thing
<01697>
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
shall bless
<01288> (8762)
thee in all thy works
<04639>_,
and in all that thou puttest
<04916>
thine hand
<03027>
unto.
For the poor
<034>
shall never cease
<02308> (8799)
out of
<07130>
the land
<0776>_:
therefore I command
<06680> (8764)
thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt open
<06605> (8799)
thine hand
<03027>
wide
<06605> (8800)
unto thy brother
<0251>_,
to thy poor
<06041>_,
and to thy needy
<034>_,
in thy land
<0776>_.
[And] if thy brother
<0251>_,
an Hebrew man
<05680>_,
or an Hebrew woman
<05680>_,
be sold
<04376> (8735)
unto thee, and serve
<05647> (8804)
thee six
<08337>
years
<08141>_;
then in the seventh
<07637>
year
<08141>
thou shalt let him go
<07971> (8762)
free
<02670>
from thee.
And when thou sendest
<07971> (8762)
him out free
<02670>
from thee, thou shalt not let him go away
<07971> (8762)
empty
<07387>_:
Thou shalt furnish
<06059> (8686)
him liberally
<06059> (8687)
out of thy flock
<06629>_,
and out of thy floor
<01637>_,
and out of thy winepress
<03342>_:
[of that] wherewith the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
thee thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)
unto him.
And thou shalt remember
<02142> (8804)
that thou wast a bondman
<05650>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
redeemed
<06299> (8799)
thee: therefore I command
<06680> (8764)
thee this thing
<01697>
to day
<03117>_.
