At the end <H7093> of [every] seven <H7651> years <H8141> thou shalt make <H6213> a release. <H8059>
2
And this [is] the manner <H1697> of the release: <H8059> Every creditor <H1167> <H4874> <H3027> that lendeth <H5383> [ought] unto his neighbour <H7453> shall release <H8058> [it]; he shall not exact <H5065> [it] of his neighbour, <H7453> or of his brother; <H0251> because it is called <H7121> the LORD'S <H3068> release. <H8059>
3
Of a foreigner <H5237> thou mayest exact <H5065> [it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother <H0251> thine hand <H3027> shall release; <H8058>
4
Save <H0657> when there shall be no poor <H0034> among you; for the LORD <H3068> shall greatly <H1288> bless <H1288> thee in the land <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee [for] an inheritance <H5159> to possess <H3423> it:
5
Only if thou carefully <H8085> hearken <H8085> unto the voice <H6963> of the LORD <H3068> thy God, <H0430> to observe <H8104> to do <H6213> all these commandments <H4687> which I command <H6680> thee this day. <H3117>
6
For the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> blesseth <H1288> thee, as he promised <H1696> thee: and thou shalt lend <H5670> unto many <H7227> nations, <H1471> but thou shalt not borrow; <H5670> and thou shalt reign <H4910> over many <H7227> nations, <H1471> but they shall not reign <H4910> over thee.
7
If there be among you a poor man <H0034> of one <H0259> of thy brethren <H0251> within any <H0259> of thy gates <H8179> in thy land <H0776> which the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> giveth <H5414> thee, thou shalt not harden <H0553> thine heart, <H3824> nor shut <H7092> thine hand <H3027> from thy poor <H0034> brother: <H0251>
8
But thou shalt open <H6605> thine hand <H3027> wide <H6605> unto him, and shalt surely <H5670> lend <H5670> him sufficient <H1767> for his need, <H4270> [in that] which he wanteth. <H2637>
9
Beware <H8104> that there be not a thought <H1697> in thy wicked <H1100> heart, <H3824> saying, <H0559> The seventh <H7651> year, <H8141> the year <H8141> of release, <H8059> is at hand; <H7126> and thine eye <H5869> be evil <H7489> against thy poor <H0034> brother, <H0251> and thou givest <H5414> him nought; and he cry <H7121> unto the LORD <H3068> against thee, and it be sin <H2399> unto thee.
10
Thou shalt surely <H5414> give <H5414> him, and thine heart <H3824> shall not be grieved <H3415> when thou givest <H5414> unto him: because <H1558> that for this thing <H1697> the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> shall bless <H1288> thee in all thy works, <H4639> and in all that thou puttest <H4916> thine hand <H3027> unto.
11
For the poor <H0034> shall never cease <H2308> out of <H7130> the land: <H0776> therefore I command <H6680> thee, saying, <H0559> Thou shalt open <H6605> thine hand <H3027> wide <H6605> unto thy brother, <H0251> to thy poor, <H6041> and to thy needy, <H0034> in thy land. <H0776>
12
[And] if thy brother, <H0251> an Hebrew man, <H5680> or an Hebrew woman, <H5680> be sold <H4376> unto thee, and serve <H5647> thee six <H8337> years; <H8141> then in the seventh <H7637> year <H8141> thou shalt let him go <H7971> free <H2670> from thee.
13
And when thou sendest him out <H7971> free <H2670> from thee, thou shalt not let him go away <H7971> empty: <H7387>
14
Thou shalt furnish <H6059> him liberally <H6059> out of thy flock, <H6629> and out of thy floor, <H1637> and out of thy winepress: <H3342> [of that] wherewith the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> hath blessed <H1288> thee thou shalt give <H5414> unto him.
15
And thou shalt remember <H2142> that thou wast a bondman <H5650> in the land <H0776> of Egypt, <H4714> and the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> redeemed <H6299> thee: therefore I command <H6680> thee this thing <H1697> to day. <H3117>
16
And it shall be, if he say <H0559> unto thee, I will not go away <H3318> from thee; because he loveth <H0157> thee and thine house, <H1004> because he is well <H2895> with thee;
17
Then thou shalt take <H3947> an aul, <H4836> and thrust <H5414> [it] through his ear <H0241> unto the door, <H1817> and he shall be thy servant <H5650> for ever. <H5769> And also unto thy maidservant <H0519> thou shalt do <H6213> likewise.
18
It shall not seem hard <H7185> unto thee, <H5869> when thou sendest him away <H7971> free <H2670> from thee; for he hath been worth <H7939> a double <H4932> hired servant <H7916> [to thee], in serving <H5647> thee six <H8337> years: <H8141> and the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> shall bless <H1288> thee in all that thou doest. <H6213>
19
All the firstling <H1060> males <H2145> that come <H3205> of thy herd <H1241> and of thy flock <H6629> thou shalt sanctify <H6942> unto the LORD <H3068> thy God: <H0430> thou shalt do no work <H5647> with the firstling <H1060> of thy bullock, <H7794> nor shear <H1494> the firstling <H1060> of thy sheep. <H6629>
20
Thou shalt eat <H0398> [it] before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> year <H8141> by year <H8141> in the place <H4725> which the LORD <H3068> shall choose, <H0977> thou and thy household. <H1004>
21
And if there be [any] blemish <H3971> therein, [as if it be] lame, <H6455> or blind, <H5787> [or have] any ill <H7451> blemish, <H3971> thou shalt not sacrifice <H2076> it unto the LORD <H3068> thy God. <H0430>
22
Thou shalt eat <H0398> it within thy gates: <H8179> the unclean <H2931> and the clean <H2889> [person shall eat it] alike, <H3162> as the roebuck, <H6643> and as the hart. <H0354>
23
Only thou shalt not eat <H0398> the blood <H1818> thereof; thou shalt pour <H8210> it upon the ground <H0776> as water. <H4325>
