7“IfH3588 there is 1a poorH34 personH34 among you, oneH259 of your brothersH251, in anyH259 of your 2townsH8179 in your landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, 3you shall not hardenH553 your heartH3824, norH3808 closeH7092 your handH3027 from your poorH34 brotherH251; 8but 4you 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 5thoughtH1697 in your heartH3824, 6suchH559 asH559, ‘7The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059 ofH8059 debtsH8059, is nearH7126,’ and 8your eyeH5869 isH7489 maliciousH7489 toward your poorH34 brotherH251, and you giveH5414 him nothingH3808; then he 9may 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 10grudgingH7489 when you giveH5414 to him, becauseH3588H1558 11for thisH2088 thingH1697 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will blessH1288 you in allH3605 your workH4639, and in allH3605 12your undertakingsH3027H4916. 1113For the poorH34 will not ceaseH2308 14to exist in the landH776; thereforeH5921H3651 I am commandingH6680 you, sayingH559, ‘You shall fullyH6605 openH6605 your handH3027 to your brotherH251, to your needyH6041 and poorH34 in your landH776.’

12“15IfH3588 your fellowH251 countrymanH251, a HebrewH5680 manH5680 orH176 womanH5680, is soldH4376 to you, then he shall serveH5647 you for sixH8337 yearsH8141, but in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 you shall setH7971 him 16freeH2670. 13And whenH3588 you setH7971 him 17freeH2670, you shall not sendH7971 him awayH7971 empty-handedH7387. 14You shall giveH6059 generouslyH6059 to him from your flockH6629, your threshingH1637 floorH1637, and from your wineH3342 vatH3342; you shall giveH5414 to him as the LordH3068 your GodH430 has blessedH1288 you. 15And you are to rememberH2142 that you were a slaveH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LordH3068 your GodH430 redeemedH6299 you; thereforeH5921H3651 I am commandingH6680 18thisH2088 of you todayH3117. 16But it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, 19ifH3588 he saysH559 to you, ‘I will not leaveH3318 you,’ becauseH3588 he lovesH157 you and your householdH1004, sinceH3588 he is doing wellH2895 with you, 17then you shall takeH3947 an 20awlH4836 and pierceH5414 it through his earH241 into the doorH1817, and he shall be your servantH5650 permanentlyH5769. You shall alsoH637 doH6213 the sameH3651 to your femaleH519 slaveH519.

18“It shall not seemH7185 difficultH7185 for you when you setH7971 him 21freeH2670, becauseH3588 he has givenH5647 you sixH8337 yearsH8141 with doubleH4932 the 22serviceH7939 of a hiredH7916 workerH7916; so the LordH3068 your GodH430 will blessH1288 you in whateverH3605H834 you doH6213.
