Deuteronomy 15:1-6

1At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141 thou shalt makeH6213 a releaseH8059.

2And this is the mannerH1697 of the releaseH8059: Every creditorH1167H4874H3027 that lendethH5383 any thing to his neighbourH7453 shall releaseH8058 it ; he shall not exactH5065 it of his neighbourH7453, or of his brotherH251; because it is calledH7121 the LORD’SH3068 releaseH8059.1

3Of a foreignerH5237 thou mayest exactH5065 it again : but that which is thine with thy brotherH251 thy handH3027 shall releaseH8058;

4ExceptH657 when there shall be no poorH34 among you; for the LORDH3068 shall greatlyH1288 blessH1288 thee in the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159 to possessH3423 it:2

5Only if thou shalt carefullyH8085 hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117.

6For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee, as he promisedH1696 thee: and thou shalt lendH5670 to manyH7227 nationsH1471, but thou shalt not borrowH5670; and thou shalt reignH4910 over manyH7227 nationsH1471, but they shall not reignH4910 over thee.
