Deuteronomy 15

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