Deuteronomy 15:1-6

1At the end of every seven years you must remove the debts of people that you have lent money to.

2This is how you must do it: Every person who has lent money to someone must remove that debt. He must not demand to get his money back from any other Israelite. It is the Lord's time to remove debts.

3You can demand to get your money back from a foreign person. But if you have lent money to another Israelite, you must forgive the debt.

4The Lord will bless you in the land that he is giving you to live in. So there should be no poor people among you.

5But you must always obey him completely. So be careful to obey all the commands that I am giving to you today.

6For the Lord your God will bless you, as he has promised to do. You will lend money to the people of many other nations, but you will not borrow money from them. You will rule over many other nations, but they will not rule over you.
