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