1 # At the end <07093> of every seven <07651> years <08141> thou shalt make <06213> (8799) a release <08059>.
2 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>.
3 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);
4 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:
5 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>.
6 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.
7 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>:
8 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).
9 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.
10 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.
11 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>.
12 # 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.
13 And when thou sendest <07971> (8762) him out free <02670> from thee, thou shalt not let him go away <07971> (8762) empty <07387>:
14 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.
15 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>.
16 And it shall be, if he say <0559> (8799) unto thee, I will not go away <03318> (8799) from thee; because he loveth <0157> (8804) thee and thine house <01004>, because he is well <02895> (8804) with thee;
17 Then thou shalt take <03947> (8804) an aul <04836>, and thrust <05414> (8804) it through his ear <0241> unto the door <01817>, and he shall be thy servant <05650> for ever <05769>. And also unto thy maidservant <0519> thou shalt do <06213> (8799) likewise.
18 It shall not seem hard <07185> (8799) unto thee <05869>, when thou sendest him away <07971> (8763) free <02670> from thee; for he hath been worth <07939> a double <04932> hired servant <07916> to thee, in serving <05647> (8804) thee six <08337> years <08141>: and the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> shall bless <01288> (8765) thee in all that thou doest <06213> (8799).
19 # All the firstling <01060> males <02145> that come <03205> (8735) of thy herd <01241> and of thy flock <06629> thou shalt sanctify <06942> (8686) unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>: thou shalt do no work <05647> (8799) with the firstling <01060> of thy bullock <07794>, nor shear <01494> (8799) the firstling <01060> of thy sheep <06629>.
20 Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799) it before <06440> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> year <08141> by year <08141> in the place <04725> which the LORD <03068> shall choose <0977> (8799), thou and thy household <01004>.
21 And if there be any blemish <03971> therein, as if it be lame <06455>, or blind <05787>, or have any ill <07451> blemish <03971>, thou shalt not sacrifice <02076> (8799) it unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>.
22 Thou shalt eat <0398> (8799) it within thy gates <08179>: the unclean <02931> and the clean <02889> person shall eat it alike <03162>, as the roebuck <06643>, and as the hart <0354>.
23 Only thou shalt not eat <0398> (8799) the blood <01818> thereof; thou shalt pour <08210> (8799) it upon the ground <0776> as water <04325>.
