l The seventh year a year Of release for
the poor. I II must be not let Of lending
or giving. l. A Hebrew servant, 10 eX-
cept he will not depart. must In the
seventh year go forth free and well
furnished. 10 All nrstling males Of the
cattle are TO be sanctified unto the Lord.
At the end of every seven years
thou shalt make a release.
2 And this is the manner of the
release: Every creditor that lendeth
aught unto his neighbour shall re-
lease 1t; he shall not exact 1t Of his
Neighbour, or Of mis- brother: be-
cause 1t is called the Lords release.
3 OF a foreigner thou mayest
exact it again: but that which is
thine with thy brother thine hand
shall release;
Save when there shall be no
poor among you; for the Lord shall
greatly bless thee in the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee for
an inheritance TO possess it:
Only If thou carefully hearken
unto the voice of the Lord thy God,
to observe to do all these COM
mandments which l command thee
this day.
For the Lord thy God blesscth
thee. as he promised thee: and thou
shalt lend unto many nations, but
thou shalt not borrow; and thou
shalt reign over many nations, but
they shall not reign over thee.
II there be among you a poor
man OF one of thy brethren within
any Of thy gates in thy land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou
shalt not harden thine heart, nor
shut thine hand from thy poor
brother:
But thou shalt open thine hand
wide unto him, and shalt surely lend
him sufficient for his need, in that
which he wanteth.
9 Beware that there be not a
thought in thy wicked heart, say
ing, The seventh year, the year Of
release. is at hand; and thine eye
be evil against thy poor brother,
and thou givest him noUght; and
he cry unto the Lord against thee;
and it be sin unto thee
10 Thou shalt surely give him,
and thine heart shall not be grieved
when thou givest unto him: because
that for this thing the Lord thy
God shall bless thee in all thy
works, and in all that thou puttest
thine hand unto.
II For the poor shall never cease
out of the land: therefore COM
mand thee, saying, Thou shalt open
thine hand wide unto thy brother.
to thy poor, and to thy needy, in
thy land.
12 And if thy brother, a He
brew man, or a Hebrew woman, be
sold unto thee. and serve thee six
years; then in the seventh year thou
shalt let him go free from thee.
13 And when thou sendest him
out free from thee. thou shalt not
let him go away empty:
IA Thou shalt furnish him liber-
ally out of thy flock, 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.
15 And thou shalt remember that
thou vast a bondman in the land
of Egypt. and the Lord thy God re-
deemed thee: therefore / command
thee this thing today.
1s And it shall be, IL he say un-
to thee, 1 will not go away from
thee; because he loveth thee and
thine house, because he is well with
thee;
II Then thou shalt take an awl,
and thrust it through his ear unto
the door, and he shall be thy servant
forever. And also unto thy maid
servant thou shalt do likewise.
is 1t shall not seem hard unto
thee. when thou sendest him away
free from thee; for he hath been
worth a double hired servant to
thee, in serving thee six years: and
the Lord thy God shall bless thee
in all that thou doest
19 All the firstling males that
come of thy herd and of thy flock
thou shalt sanctify unto the Lord
thy God: thou shalt do no work with
the firstling of thy bullock. nor
shear the firstling of thy sheep.
90 Thou shalt eat it before the
Lord thy God year by year in the
place which the Lord shall choose
thou and thy household.
81 And IL there be any blemish
therein, as If it be lame, or blind,
or have any i'll blemish, thou shalt
not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy
God.
90 Thou shalt eat it within thy
gates: the uncleauP and the clean
