Deuteronomy 15

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

At the end of [every] seven years shalt thou 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 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.

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 [payment]; but that which is thine with thy brother shall thy hand 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.

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:

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 wide thy hand unto him, and thou shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, which his want requireth.

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 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:

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

And when thou lettest him go 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 flocks, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-press; wherewith the Lord thy God hath blessed thee, that shalt thou 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 hast been a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God hath redeemed thee; therefore do I command thee this thing today.

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 thy 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 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 maid-servant shalt thou 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, 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.

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 first-born 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 first-born of thy bullock, and not shear the first-born 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.

Before the Lord thy God shalt thou eat it year by year, in the place which the Lord will choose, thou with 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 thereon, if it be lame, or blind, or have any [other] ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God.

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

Within thy gates shalt thou eat it, the unclean and the clean together, 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 the blood thereof shalt thou not eat: upon the ground shalt thou pour it out as water.
