lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:1 @ At the end of seven years shalt thou make a release.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:2 @ And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall release the loan which he hath lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because the release year in honor of the Lord hath been proclaimed.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:3 @ Of a foreigner thou mayest exact; but that which is thine with thy brother shall thy hand release.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:4 @ Although indeed there should be no needy man among thee; for the Lord will greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:5 @ Yet only if thou wilt carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:6 @ For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he hath spoken unto thee; and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but over thee shall they not rule.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:7 @ If there be among thee a needy man, any one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy needy brother.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:8 @ But thou shalt open wide thy hand unto him, and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, which his want requireth.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:9 @ Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thy eye be thus evil against thy needy brother, so that thou wouldst give him nought; and if he cry concerning thee unto the Lord, it will be sin in thee:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:10 @ Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; for because of this thing the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all the acquisition of thy hand.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:11 @ For the needy will not cease out of the land; therefore do I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open wide thy hand unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:12 @ If thy brother, the Hebrew, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years; and in the seventh year shalt thou let him go free from thee.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:13 @ And when thou lettest him go out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:14 @ Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flocks, and out of thy threshingfloor, and out of thy winepress; wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, that shalt thou give unto him.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:15 @ And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God hath redeemed thee; therefore do I command thee this thing today.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:16 @ And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:17 @ Then shalt thou take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be unto thee a servant for ever; and also unto thy maidservant shalt thou do likewise.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:18 @ It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee, that for double the wages of a hired laborer hath he served thee six years; and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:19 @ All the firstborn males that come of thy herds and of thy flocks shalt thou sanctify unto the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstborn of thy bullock, and not shear the firstborn of thy sheep.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:20 @ Before the Lord thy God shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which the Lord will choose, thou with thy household.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:21 @ And if there be any blemish thereon, if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:22 @ Within thy gates shalt thou eat it, the unclean and the clean together, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:15:23 @ Only the blood thereof shalt thou not eat: upon the ground shalt thou pour it out as water.
