*
For the poor shall never cease out of the land :
therefore I command thee ,
saying ,
Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother ,
to thy poor ,
and to thy needy ,
in thy land .
*
And if thy brother ,
an Hebrew man ,
or an Hebrew woman ,
be sold unto thee ,
and serve thee six years ;
then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee .
*
And when thou sendest him out free from thee ,
thou shalt not let him go away empty :
*
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock tso #
n #,
and out of thy floor ,
and out of thy winepress :
of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him .
*
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt ,
and the LORD thy God redeemed thee :
therefore I command thee this thing to day .
*
And it shall be ,
if he say unto thee ,
I will not go away from thee ;
because he loveth thee and thine house ,
because he is well with thee ;
