lesserot Deuteronomy:15:1-11
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.
