15:1 At the end 7093 of [every] seven 7651 years 8141 thou shalt make 6213 8799 a release 8059.

15:2 And this [is] the manner 1697 of the release 8059: Every creditor 1167 4874 3027 that lendeth 5383 8686 [ought] unto his neighbour 7453 shall release 8058 8800 [it]; he shall not exact 5065 8799 [it] of his neighbour 7453, or of his brother 251; because it is called 7121 8804 the LORD'S 3068 release 8059.(creditor: Heb. master of the lending of his hand)

15:3 Of a foreigner 5237 thou mayest exact 5065 8799 [it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother 251 thine hand 3027 shall release 8058 8686;

15:4 Save 657 when there shall be no poor 34 among you; for the LORD 3068 shall greatly 1288 8763 bless 1288 8762 thee in the land 776 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee [for] an inheritance 5159 to possess 3423 8800 it:(Save…: or, To the end that there be no poor among you)

15:5 Only if thou carefully 8085 8800 hearken 8085 8799 unto the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430, to observe 8104 8800 to do 6213 8800 all these commandments 4687 which I command 6680 8764 thee this day 3117.

15:6 For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 blesseth 1288 8765 thee, as he promised 1696 8765 thee: and thou shalt lend 5670 8689 unto many 7227 nations 1471, but thou shalt not borrow 5670 8799; and thou shalt reign 4910 8804 over many 7227 nations 1471, but they shall not reign 4910 8799 over thee.

15:7 If there be among you a poor man 34 of one 259 of thy brethren 251 within any 259 of thy gates 8179 in thy land 776 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, thou shalt not harden 553 8762 thine heart 3824, nor shut 7092 8799 thine hand 3027 from thy poor 34 brother 251:

15:8 But thou shalt open 6605 8799 thine hand 3027 wide 6605 8800 unto him, and shalt surely 5670 8687 lend 5670 8686 him sufficient 1767 for his need 4270, [in that] which he wanteth 2637 8799.

15:9 Beware 8104 8734 that there be not a thought 1697 in thy wicked 1100 heart 3824, saying 559 8800, The seventh 7651 year 8141, the year 8141 of release 8059, is at hand 7126 8804; and thine eye 5869 be evil 7489 8804 against thy poor 34 brother 251, and thou givest 5414 8799 him nought; and he cry 7121 8804 unto the LORD 3068 against thee, and it be sin 2399 unto thee.(thought: Heb. word)(wicked: Heb. Belial)

15:10 Thou shalt surely 5414 8800 give 5414 8799 him, and thine heart 3824 shall not be grieved 3415 8799 when thou givest 5414 8800 unto him: because 1558 that for this thing 1697 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall bless 1288 8762 thee in all thy works 4639, and in all that thou puttest 4916 thine hand 3027 unto.

15:11 For the poor 34 shall never cease 2308 8799 out of 7130 the land 776: therefore I command 6680 8764 thee, saying 559 8800, Thou shalt open 6605 8799 thine hand 3027 wide 6605 8800 unto thy brother 251, to thy poor 6041, and to thy needy 34, in thy land 776.

15:12 [And] if thy brother 251, an Hebrew man 5680, or an Hebrew woman 5680, be sold 4376 8735 unto thee, and serve 5647 8804 thee six 8337 years 8141; then in the seventh 7637 year 8141 thou shalt let him go 7971 8762 free 2670 from thee.

15:13 And when thou sendest 7971 8762 him out free 2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him go away 7971 8762 empty 7387:

15:14 Thou shalt furnish 6059 8686 him liberally 6059 8687 out of thy flock 6629, and out of thy floor 1637, and out of thy winepress 3342: [of that] wherewith the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath blessed 1288 8765 thee thou shalt give 5414 8799 unto him.

15:15 And thou shalt remember 2142 8804 that thou wast a bondman 5650 in the land 776 of Egypt 4714, and the LORD 3068 thy God 430 redeemed 6299 8799 thee: therefore I command 6680 8764 thee this thing 1697 to day 3117.

15:16 And it shall be, if he say 559 8799 unto thee, I will not go away 3318 8799 from thee; because he loveth 157 8804 thee and thine house 1004, because he is well 2895 8804 with thee;

15:17 Then thou shalt take 3947 8804 an aul 4836, and thrust 5414 8804 [it] through his ear 241 unto the door 1817, and he shall be thy servant 5650 for ever 5769. And also unto thy maidservant 519 thou shalt do 6213 8799 likewise.

15:18 It shall not seem hard 7185 8799 unto thee 5869, when thou sendest him away 7971 8763 free 2670 from thee; for he hath been worth 7939 a double 4932 hired servant 7916 [to thee], in serving 5647 8804 thee six 8337 years 8141: and the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall bless 1288 8765 thee in all that thou doest 6213 8799.

15:19 All the firstling 1060 males 2145 that come 3205 8735 of thy herd 1241 and of thy flock 6629 thou shalt sanctify 6942 8686 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430: thou shalt do no work 5647 8799 with the firstling 1060 of thy bullock 7794, nor shear 1494 8799 the firstling 1060 of thy sheep 6629.

15:20 Thou shalt eat 398 8799 [it] before 6440 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 year 8141 by year 8141 in the place 4725 which the LORD 3068 shall choose 977 8799, thou and thy household 1004.

15:21 And if there be [any] blemish 3971 therein, [as if it be] lame 6455, or blind 5787, [or have] any ill 7451 blemish 3971, thou shalt not sacrifice 2076 8799 it unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430.

15:22 Thou shalt eat 398 8799 it within thy gates 8179: the unclean 2931 and the clean 2889 [person shall eat it] alike 3162, as the roebuck 6643, and as the hart 354.

15:23 Only thou shalt not eat 398 8799 the blood 1818 thereof; thou shalt pour 8210 8799 it upon the ground 776 as water 4325.
