1

aAt the endh7093 of every sevenh7651 yearsh8141 you shall  1granth6213a a remissionh8059 of debts.

2

"Thish2088 is the mannerh1697 of remissionh8059: everyh3605 creditorh1167h4874h3027 shall releaseh8058 whath834 he has loanedh5383 to his neighborh7453; he shall not exacth5065 it of his neighborh7453 and his brotherh251, becauseh3588 the LORD'Sh3068 remissionh8059 has been proclaimedh7121.

3

aFrom a foreignerh5237 you may exacth5065 it, but your handh3027 shall releaseh8058 whateverh834 of yours is with your brotherh251.

4

"Howeverh657, there will be noh3808 poorh34 among you, sinceh3588  athe LORDh3068 will surelyh1288 blessh1288 you in the landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 is givingh5414 you as an inheritanceh5159 to possessh3423,

5

ifh518 onlyh7534 you listenh8085 obedientlyh8085 to the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430, to observeh6213a carefullyh6213a allh3605 thish2088 commandmenth4687 whichh834 I am commandingh6680 you todayh3117.

6

aFor the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will blessh1288 you as He has promisedh1696 you, and you will lendh5670 to manyh7227a nationsh1471, but you will not borrowh5670; and you will ruleh4910 over manyh7227a nationsh1471, but they will not ruleh4910 over you.

7

"Ifh3588 there is  aa poorh34 manh34 with you, oneh259 of your brothersh251, in anyh259 of your  1townsh8179 in your landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 is givingh5414 you,  byou shall not hardenh553 your hearth3824, norh3808 closeh7092 your handh3027 from your poorh34 brotherh251;

8

but  ayou shall freelyh6605a openh6605a your handh3027 to him, and shall generouslyh5670 lendh5670 him sufficienth1767 for his needh4270 in whateverh834 he lacksh2637.

9

"Bewareh8104 that there is noh6435 baseh1100  1thoughth1697 in your hearth3824, sayingh559, ` aThe seventhh7651 yearh8141, the yearh8141 of remissionh8059, is nearh7126,' and  byour eyeh5869 is hostileh7489a toward your poorh34 brotherh251, and you giveh5414 him nothingh3808; then he  cmay cryh7121 to the LORDh3068 againsth5921 you, and it will be a sinh2399 in you.

10

"You shall generouslyh5414 giveh5414 to him, and your hearth3824 shall not be grievedh7489a when you giveh5414 to him, becauseh3588h1558  afor thish2088 thingh1697 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will blessh1288 you in allh3605 your workh4639 and in allh3605  1your undertakingsh3027h4916a.

11

aFor the poorh34 will neverh3808 ceaseh2308 to be  1in the landh776; thereforeh5921h3651 I commandh6680 you, sayingh559, `You shall freelyh6605a openh6605a your handh3027 to your brotherh251, to your needyh6041 and poorh6041 in your landh776.'

12

aIfh3588 your  1kinsmanh251, a Hebrewh5680 manh5680 orh176 womanh5680, is soldh4376 to you, then he shall serveh5647 you sixh8337a yearsh8141, but in the seventhh7637 yearh8141 you shall seth7971 him  2freeh2670.

13

"Whenh3588 you seth7971 him  1freeh2670, you shall not sendh7971 him awayh7971 empty-handedh7387.

14

"You shall furnishh6059 him liberallyh6059 from your flockh6629 and from your threshingh1637 floorh1637 and from your wineh3342 vath3342; you shall giveh5414 to him as the LORDh3068 your Godh430 has blessedh1288 you.

15

"You shall rememberh2142 that you were a slaveh5650 in the landh776 of Egypth4714, and the LORDh3068 your Godh430 redeemedh6299 you; thereforeh5921h3651 I commandh6680 you  1thish2088 todayh3117.

16

"It shall comeh1961 about  aifh3588 he saysh559 to you, `I will not goh3318 out from you,' becauseh3588 he lovesh157 you and your householdh1004, sinceh3588 he fares wellh2895 with you;

17

then you shall takeh3947 an awlh4836 and pierceh5414 it through his earh241 into the doorh1817, and he shall be your servanth5650 foreverh5769. Alsoh637 you shall doh6213a likewiseh3651 to your maidservanth519.

18

"It shall not seemh7185 hardh7185 to you when you seth7971 him  1freeh2670, for he has givenh5647 you sixh8337a yearsh8141 with  2doubleh4932 the serviceh7939 of a hiredh7916 manh7916; so the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will blessh1288 you in whateverh3605h834 you doh6213a.

19

aYou shall consecrateh6942 to the LORDh3068 your Godh430 allh3605 the firstbornh1060 malesh2145 that are bornh3205 of your herdh1241 and of your flockh6629; you shall not workh5647 with the firstbornh1060 of your herdh7794, norh3808 shearh1494 the firstbornh1060 of your flockh6629.

20

aYou and your householdh1004 shall eath398 it everyh8141 yearh8141 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 in the placeh4725 whichh834 the LORDh3068 choosesh977.

21

aBut ifh3588 it hash1961 any  1defecth4140b, such as lamenessh6455 orh176 blindnessh5787, or anyh3605 serioush7451a  1defecth4140b, you shall not sacrificeh2076 it to the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

22

"You shall eath398 it within your gatesh8179;  athe uncleanh2931 and the cleanh2889 alikeh3164a may eat it, as  aa gazelleh6643b or a deerh354.

23

"Onlyh7534  ayou shall not eath398 its bloodh1818; you are to pourh8210 it out on the groundh776 like waterh4325.
