Deuteronomy 15:12 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 "At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release.
2 And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the LORD's release has been proclaimed.
3 Of a foreigner you may exact it; but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.
4 But there will be no poor among you (for the LORD will bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance to possess),
5 if only you will obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all this commandment which I command you this day.
6 For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
7 "If there is among you a poor man, one of your brethren, in any of your towns within your land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother,
8 but you shall open your hand to him, and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be.
9 Take heed lest there be a base thought in your heart, and you say, `The seventh year, the year of release is near,' and your eye be hostile to your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the LORD against you, and it be sin in you.
10 You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him; because for this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.
11 For the poor will never cease out of the land; therefore I command you, You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in the land.
12 "If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
13 And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed;
14 you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your wine press; as the LORD 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 the LORD your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this today.
16 But if he says to you, `I will not go out from you,' because he loves you and your household, since he fares well with you,
17 then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your bondman for ever. And to your bondwoman you shall do likewise.
18 It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for at half the cost of a hired servant he has served you six years. So the LORD your God will bless you in all that you do.
19 "All the firstling males that are born of your herd and flock you shall consecrate to the LORD your God; you shall do no work with the firstling of your herd, nor shear the firstling of your flock.
20 You shall eat it, you and your household, before the LORD your God year by year at the place which the LORD will choose.
21 But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind, or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 You shall eat it within your towns; the unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as though it were a gazelle or a hart.
23 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
1 At the end H4480 H7093 of 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 aught unto his neighbor H7453 shall release H8058 it ; he shall not H3808 exact it of his neighbor, H7453 or of his brother; H251 because H3588 it is called H7121 the LORD's H3068 release. H8059
3 Of H853 a foreigner H5237 thou mayest exact H5065 it again : but 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 bless H1288 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 hearken H8085 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 not H3808 borrow; H5670 and thou shalt reign H4910 over many H7227 nations, H1471 but they shall not H3808 reign H4910 over thee.
7 If H3588 there be H1961 among you a poor man H34 of one H4480 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 not H3808 harden H553 H853 thine heart, H3824 nor H3808 shut H7092 H853 thine hand H3027 from thy poor H34 brother H4480 H251 :
8 But H3588 thou shalt open H6605 H853 thine hand H3027 wide H6605 unto him , and shalt surely lend H5670 H5670 him sufficient H1767 for his need, H4270 in that which H834 he wanteth. H2637
9 Beware H8104 that H6435 there be H1961 not a thought H1697 in H5973 thy 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 poor H34 brother, H251 and thou givest H5414 him naught; H3808 and he cry H7121 unto H413 the LORD H3068 against H5921 thee , and it be H1961 sin H2399 unto thee.
10 Thou shalt surely give H5414 H5414 him , and thine heart H3824 shall 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 never H3808 cease H2308 out of H4480 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 a Hebrew man, H5680 or H176 a 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 H4480 H5973 thee.
13 And when H3588 thou sendest him out H7971 free H2670 from H4480 H5973 thee , thou shalt not H3808 let him go away H7971 empty: H7387
14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally H6059 H6059 out of thy flock H4480 H6629 , and out of thy floor H4480 H1637 , and out of thy winepress H4480 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 today. H3117
16 And it shall be, H1961 if H3588 he say H559 unto H413 thee , I will not H3808 go away H3318 from H4480 H5973 thee; because H3588 he loveth H157 thee and thine house, H1004 because H3588 he is well H2896 with H5973 thee;
17 Then thou shalt take H3947 H853 an awl, H4836 and thrust H5414 it through his ear H241 unto the door, H1817 and he shall be H1961 thy servant H5650 forever. H5769 And also H637 unto thy maidservant H519 thou shalt do H6213 likewise. H3651
18 It shall not H3808 seem hard unto thee H7185 H5869 , when thou sendest him away H7971 H853 free H2670 from H4480 H5973 thee; 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 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 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 not H3808 eat H398 H853 the blood H1818 thereof ; thou shalt pour H8210 it upon H5921 the ground H776 as water. H4325
