Deuteronomy 15

1 From [the] end of seven years you will observe a remission.

At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

2 And this [is] [the] manner of the remission he will remit every owner [the] loan of hand his which he will lend to neighbor his not he will press neighbor his and countryman his for someone has proclaimed a remission of Yahweh.

And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called Yhwh's release.

3 The foreigner you will press and [that] which it will belong to you with countryman your let it release hand your.

Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

4 Nevertheless for not he will be among you a needy [person] for surely he will bless you Yahweh in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance to take possession of it.

Save when there shall be no poor among you; for Yhwh shall greatly bless thee in the land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

5 Only certainly [if] you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your to take care to observe all the commandment this which I [am] commanding you this day.

Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of Yhwh thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.

6 For Yahweh God your he has blessed you just as he spoke to you and you will lend to nations many and you not you will borrow and you will rule over nations many and over you not they will rule.

For Yhwh thy God blesseth 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.

7 If he will be among you a needy [person] any one of countrymen your in one of gates your in land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you not you will harden heart your and not you will shut hand your from countryman your needy.

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which Yhwh thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

8 For certainly you will open hand your to him and certainly you will lend to him sufficiency of lack his which it will be lacking to him.

But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

9 Take heed to yourself lest it should be a word with heart your worthlessness saying it has drawn near [the] year of the seven [the] year of the remission and it will be evil eye your on countryman your needy and not you will give to him and he will call out against you to Yahweh and it will be on you sin.

Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, 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 Yhwh against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

10 Certainly you will give to him and not it will sadden heart your when giving you to him for on account of - the thing this he will bless you Yahweh God your in all work your and in every undertaking of hand your.

Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing Yhwh thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

11 For not he will cease [the] needy from [the] midst of the land there-fore I [am] commanding you saying certainly you will open hand your to countryman your to poor [person] your and to needy [person] your in land your.

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.

12 If he will sell himself to you countryman your Hebrew [masc] or Hebrew [fem] and he will serve you six years and in the year seventh you will let go him a free [person] from with you.

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.

13 And if you will let go him a free [person] from with you not you will let go him emptily.

And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:

14 Certainly you will provide for him from flock your and from threshing floor your and from wine-press your [that] which he has blessed you Yahweh God your you will give to him.

Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith Yhwh thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

15 And you will remember that a slave you were in [the] land of Egypt and he redeemed you Yahweh God your there-fore I [am] commanding you the matter this this day.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, And Yhwh thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.

16 And it will be that he will say to you not I will go out from with you for he loves you and household your for it has been good for him with you.

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;

17 And you will take the awl and you will put [it] in ear his and in the door and he will be of you a slave of perpetuity and also to maidservant your you will do thus.

Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.

18 Not it will be hard in view your when letting go you him a free [person] from with you for double [the] hire of a hired laborer he has served you six years and he will bless you Yahweh God your in all that you will do.

It 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 Yhwh thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.

19 Every firstborn which it will be born in herd your and in flock your the male you will consecrate to Yahweh God your not you will labor by [the] firstborn of ox[en] your and not you will shear [the] firstborn of sheep your.

All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Yhwh thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.

20 Before Yahweh God your you will eat it a year in a year in the place which he will choose Yahweh you and household your.

Thou shalt eat it before Yhwh thy God year by year in the place which Yhwh shall choose, thou and thy household.

21 And if it will be in it a blemish lame or blind any blemish bad not you will sacrifice it to Yahweh God your.

And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Yhwh thy God.

22 In gates your you will eat it the unclean and the clean alike like gazelle and like deer.

Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.

23 Only blood its not you must eat on the ground you will pour out it like water.

Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
