1“1At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141 you shall 2grantH6213 a releaseH8059 ofH8059 debtsH8059. 2And thisH2088 is the regulationH1697 for the releaseH8059 ofH8059 debtsH8059: everyH3605 creditorH1167H4874H3027 is to forgiveH8058 whatH834 he has loanedH5383 to his neighborH7453; he shall not requireH5065 it of his neighborH7453 and his brotherH251, becauseH3588 the Lord’sH3068 releaseH8059 has been proclaimedH7121. 33From a foreignerH5237 you may requireH5065 it, but your handH3027 shall 4forgiveH8058 whateverH834 of yours is with your brotherH251. 4HoweverH657H3588, there will be noH3808 poorH34 among you, sinceH3588 5the LordH3068 will certainlyH1288 blessH1288 you in the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you as an inheritanceH5159 to possessH3423, 5ifH518 onlyH7534 you listenH8085 obedientlyH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, to 6followH6213 carefullyH8104 allH3605 thisH2088 commandmentH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117. 67For the LordH3068 your GodH430 will have blessedH1288 you justH3512 asH3512 He has promisedH1696 you, and you will lendH5670 to manyH7227 nationsH1471, but you will not borrowH5670; and you will ruleH4910 over manyH7227 nationsH1471, but they will not ruleH4910 over you.
7“IfH3588 there is 8a poorH34 personH34 among you, oneH259 of your brothersH251, in anyH259 of your 9townsH8179 in your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, 10you shall not hardenH553 your heartH3824, norH3808 closeH7092 your handH3027 from your poorH34 brotherH251; 8but 11you shall fullyH6605 openH6605 your handH3027 to him, and generouslyH5670 lendH5670 him enoughH1767 for his needH4270 in whateverH834 he lacksH2637. 9BeH8104 carefulH8104 thatH6435 there is noH6435 mean-spiritedH1100 12thoughtH1697 in your heartH3824, 13suchH559 asH559, ‘14The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059 ofH8059 debtsH8059, is nearH7126,’ and 15your eyeH5869 isH7489 maliciousH7489 toward your poorH34 brotherH251, and you giveH5414 him nothingH3808; then he 16may cryH7121 outH7121 to the LordH3068 againstH5921 you, and it will be a sinH2399 in you. 10You shall generouslyH5414 giveH5414 to him, and your heartH3824 shall not beH7489 17grudgingH7489 when you giveH5414 to him, becauseH3588H1558 18for thisH2088 thingH1697 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will blessH1288 you in allH3605 your workH4639, and in allH3605 19your undertakingsH3027H4916.
