[1] At the end of every seven years, you shall cancel debts. [2] This is the way it shall be done: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not require payment from his neighbor and his brother, because Yahweh’s release has been proclaimed. [3] Of a foreigner you may require it; but whatever of yours is with your brother, your hand shall release. [4] However there will be no poor with you (for Yahweh will surely bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance to possess) [5] if only you diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today. [6] For Yahweh your God will bless you, as he promised you. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow. You will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you. [7] If a poor man, one of your brothers, is with you within any of your gates in your land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother; [8] but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need, which he lacks. [9] Beware that there not be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,” and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing; and he cry to Yahweh against you, and it be sin to you. [10] You shall surely give, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because it is for this thing Yahweh your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to. [11] For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land. [12] If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. [13] When you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty. [14] You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press. As Yahweh your God has blessed you, you shall give to him. [15] You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God redeemed you. Therefore I command you this thing today. [16] It shall be, if he tells you, “I will not go out from you,” because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you, [17] then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise. [18] It shall not seem hard to you when you let him go free from you, for he has been double the value of a hired hand as he served you six years. Yahweh your God will bless you in all that you do. [19] You shall dedicate all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. [20] You shall eat it before Yahweh your God year by year in the place which Yahweh shall choose, you and your household. [21] If it has any defect—is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God. [22] You shall eat it within your gates. The unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle and as the deer. [23] Only you shall not eat its blood. You shall pour it out on the ground like water.
King James Version
[1] At the end H7093 of H7651 every seven H7651 years H8141 thou shalt make H6213 a release. H8059 [2] And this H2088 is the manner H1697 of the release: H8059 Every H3605 creditor H1167 H4874 H3027 that H834 lendeth H5383§ ought unto his neighbour H7453 shall release H8058 it; he shall H5065 not H3808 exact H5065 it H853 of his neighbour, H7453 or H853 of his brother; H251 because H3588 it is called H7121 the Lord’s H3068 release. H8059 [3] H853 Of a foreigner H5237 thou mayest exact H5065 it again: but H834 that which H834 is H1961 thine with H854 thy brother H251 thine hand H3027 shall release; H8058 [4] save H657 when H3588 there shall be H1961 no H3808 poor H34 among you;§ for H3588 the Lord H3068 shall greatly H1288 bless H1288 thee in the land H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee for an inheritance H5159 to possess H3423 it: [5] only H7535 if H518 thou carefully H8085 hearken H8085 unto the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 to observe H8104 to do H6213 H853 all H3605 these H2063 commandments H4687 which H834 I H595 command H6680 thee this day. H3117 [6] For H3588 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 blesseth H1288 thee, as H834 he promised H1696 thee: and thou shalt lend H5670 unto many H7227 nations, H1471 but thou H859 shalt H5670 not H3808 borrow; H5670 and thou shalt reign H4910 over many H7227 nations, H1471 but they shall H4910 not H3808 reign H4910 over thee. [7] If H3588 there be H1961 among you a poor man H34 of one H259 of thy brethren H251 within any H259 of thy gates H8179 in thy land H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee, thou shalt H553 not H3808 harden H553 H853 thine heart, H3824 nor H3808 shut H7092 H853 thine hand H3027 from thy H251 poor H34 brother: H251 [8] but H3588 thou shalt open H6605 H853 thine hand H3027 wide H6605 unto him, and shalt surely H5670 lend H5670 him sufficient H1767 for his need, H4270 in that which H834 he wanteth. H2637 [9] Beware H8104 that H6435 there be H1961 not H6435 a thought H1697§ in H5973 thy H3824 wicked H1100§ heart, H3824 saying, H559 The seventh H7651 year, H8141 the year H8141 of release, H8059 is at hand; H7126 and thine eye H5869 be evil H7489 against thy H251 poor H34 brother, H251 and thou givest H5414 him nought; H3808 and he cry H7121 unto H413 the Lord H3068 against thee, H5921 and it be H1961 sin H2399 unto thee. [10] Thou shalt surely H5414 give H5414 him, and thine heart H3824 shall H7489 not H3808 be grieved H7489 when thou givest H5414 unto him: because that H3588 for H1558 this H2088 thing H1697 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 shall bless H1288 thee in all H3605 thy works, H4639 and in all H3605 that thou puttest H4916 thine hand H3027 unto. [11] For H3588 the poor H34 shall H2308 never H3808 cease H2308 out of H7130 the land: H776 therefore H5921 H3651 I H595 command H6680 thee, saying, H559 Thou shalt open H6605 H853 thine hand H3027 wide H6605 unto thy brother, H251 to thy poor, H6041 and to thy needy, H34 in thy land. H776 [12] And if H3588 thy brother, H251 an Hebrew man, H5680 or H176 an Hebrew woman, H5680 be sold H4376 unto thee, and serve H5647 thee six H8337 years; H8141 then in the seventh H7637 year H8141 thou shalt let him go H7971 free H2670 from thee. H5973 [13] And when H3588 thou sendest H7971 him out H7971 free H2670 from thee, H5973 thou shalt H7971 not H3808 let him go away H7971 empty: H7387 [14] thou shalt furnish H6059 him liberally H6059 out of thy flock, H6629 and out of thy floor, H1637 and out of thy winepress: H3342 of that wherewith H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath blessed H1288 thee thou shalt give H5414 unto him. [15] And thou shalt remember H2142 that H3588 thou wast H1961 a bondman H5650 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and the Lord H3068 thy God H430 redeemed H6299 thee: therefore H5921 H3651 I H595 command H6680 thee H853 this H2088 thing H1697 to day. H3117 [16] And it shall be, H1961 if H3588 he say H559 unto thee, H413 I will H3318 not H3808 go away H3318 from thee; H5973 because H3588 he loveth H157 thee and H853 thine house, H1004 because H3588 he is well H2895 with thee; H5973 [17] then thou shalt take H3947 H853 an aul, H4836 and thrust H5414 it through his ear H241 unto the door, H1817 and he shall be H1961 thy servant H5650 for ever. H5769 And also H637 unto thy maidservant H519 thou shalt do H6213 likewise. H3651 [18] It shall H7185 not H3808 seem hard H7185 unto thee, H5869 when thou sendest H7971 him H853 away H7971 free H2670 from thee; H5973 for H3588 he hath been worth H7939 a double H4932 hired servant H7916 to thee, in serving H5647 thee six H8337 years: H8141 and the Lord H3068 thy God H430 shall bless H1288 thee in all H3605 that H834 thou doest. H6213 [19] All H3605 the firstling H1060 males H2145 that H834 come H3205 of thy herd H1241 and of thy flock H6629 thou shalt sanctify H6942 unto the Lord H3068 thy God: H430 thou shalt do H5647 no H3808 work H5647 with the firstling H1060 of thy bullock, H7794 nor H3808 shear H1494 the firstling H1060 of thy sheep. H6629 [20] Thou shalt eat H398 it before H6440 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 year H8141 by year H8141 in the place H4725 which H834 the Lord H3068 shall choose, H977 thou H859 and thy household. H1004 [21] And if H3588 there be H1961 any blemish H3971 therein, as if it be lame, H6455 or H176 blind, H5787 or have any H3605 ill H7451 blemish, H3971 thou shalt H2076 not H3808 sacrifice H2076 it unto the Lord H3068 thy God. H430 [22] Thou shalt eat H398 it within thy gates: H8179 the unclean H2931 and the clean H2889 person shall eat it alike, H3162 as the roebuck, H6643 and as the hart. H354 [23] Only H7535 thou shalt H398 not H3808 eat H398 H853 the blood H1818 thereof; H1818 thou shalt pour H8210 it upon H5921 the ground H776 as water. H4325
