At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141 thou shalt makeH6213 a releaseH8059.
And this is the mannerH1697 of the releaseH8059: Every creditorH1167+H4874+H3027 that lendethH5383 ought unto 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. {creditor: Heb. master of the lending of his hand}
Of a foreignerH5237 thou mayest exactH5065 it again: but that which is thine with thy brotherH251 thine handH3027 shall releaseH8058;
SaveH657 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: {Save…: or, To the end that there be no poor among you}
Only if thou carefullyH8085 hearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to observeH8104 to doH6213 all these commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117.
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 blessethH1288 thee, as he promisedH1696 thee: and thou shalt lendH5670 unto manyH7227 nationsH1471, but thou shalt not borrowH5670; and thou shalt reignH4910 over manyH7227 nationsH1471, but they shall not reignH4910 over thee.
If there be among you a poor manH34 of oneH259 of thy brethrenH251 within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 in thy landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not hardenH553 thine heartH3824, nor shutH7092 thine handH3027 from thy poorH34 brotherH251:
But thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto him, and shalt surelyH5670 lendH5670 him sufficientH1767 for his needH4270, in that which he wantethH2637.
BewareH8104 that there be not a thoughtH1697 in thy wickedH1100 heartH3824, sayingH559, The seventhH7651 yearH8141, the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, is at handH7126; and thine eyeH5869 be evilH7489 against thy poorH34 brotherH251, and thou givestH5414 him nought; and he cryH7121 unto the LORDH3068 against thee, and it be sinH2399 unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}
Thou shalt surelyH5414 giveH5414 him, and thine heartH3824 shall not be grievedH3415 when thou givestH5414 unto him: becauseH1558 that for this thingH1697 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all thy worksH4639, and in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handH3027 unto.
For the poorH34 shall never ceaseH2308 out ofH7130 the landH776: therefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt openH6605 thine handH3027 wideH6605 unto thy brotherH251, to thy poorH6041, and to thy needyH34, in thy landH776.
And if thy brotherH251, an Hebrew manH5680, or an Hebrew womanH5680, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee.
And when thou sendestH7971 him out freeH2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him go awayH7971 emptyH7387:
Thou shalt furnishH6059 him liberallyH6059 out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy floorH1637, and out of thy winepressH3342: of that wherewith the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondmanH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee: therefore I commandH6680 thee this thingH1697 to dayH3117.
And it shall be, if he sayH559 unto thee, I will not go awayH3318 from thee; because he lovethH157 thee and thine houseH1004, because he is wellH2895 with thee;
Then thou shalt takeH3947 an aulH4836, and thrustH5414 it through his earH241 unto the doorH1817, and he shall be thy servantH5650 for everH5769. And also unto thy maidservantH519 thou shalt doH6213 likewise.
It shall not seem hardH7185 unto theeH5869, when thou sendest him awayH7971 freeH2670 from thee; for he hath been worthH7939 a doubleH4932 hired servantH7916 to thee, in servingH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141: and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all that thou doestH6213.
All the firstlingH1060 malesH2145 that comeH3205 of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629 thou shalt sanctifyH6942 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: thou shalt do no workH5647 with the firstlingH1060 of thy bullockH7794, nor shearH1494 the firstlingH1060 of thy sheepH6629.
Thou shalt eatH398 it beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 yearH8141 by yearH8141 in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977, thou and thy householdH1004.
And if there be any blemishH3971 therein, as if it be lameH6455, or blindH5787, or have any illH7451 blemishH3971, thou shalt not sacrificeH2076 it unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Thou shalt eatH398 it within thy gatesH8179: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 person shall eat it alikeH3162, as the roebuckH6643, and as the hartH354.
Only thou shalt not eatH398 the bloodH1818 thereof; thou shalt pourH8210 it upon the groundH776 as waterH4325.

Then I consultedH4427 with myselfH3820, and I rebukedH7378 the noblesH2715, and the rulersH5461, and saidH559 unto them, Ye exactH5378+H5383+H5375 usuryH4855, every oneH376 of his brotherH251. And I setH5414 a greatH1419 assemblyH6952 against them. {I consulted…: Heb. my heart consulted in me}
And I saidH559 unto them, We after our abilityH1767 have redeemedH7069 our brethrenH251 the JewsH3064, which were soldH4376 unto the heathenH1471; and will ye even sellH4376 your brethrenH251? or shall they be soldH4376 unto us? Then held they their peaceH2790, and foundH4672 nothingH1697 to answer.
Also I saidH559, It is not goodH2896 thatH1697 ye doH6213: ought ye not to walkH3212 in the fearH3374 of our GodH430 because of the reproachH2781 of the heathenH1471 our enemiesH341?
I likewise, and my brethrenH251, and my servantsH5288, might exactH5383 of them moneyH3701 and cornH1715: I pray you, let us leave offH5800 this usuryH4855.
RestoreH7725, I pray you, to them, even this dayH3117, their landsH7704, their vineyardsH3754, their oliveyardsH2132, and their housesH1004, also the hundredthH3967 part of the moneyH3701, and of the cornH1715, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, that ye exactH5383 of them.
Wherefore have we fastedH6684, say they, and thou seestH7200 not? wherefore have we afflictedH6031 our soulH5315, and thou takest no knowledgeH3045? Behold, in the dayH3117 of your fastH6685 ye findH4672 pleasureH2656, and exactH5065 all your laboursH6092. {labours: or, things wherewith ye grieve others: Heb. griefs}
HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041+H6035 of the landH776 to failH7673,
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?
AndG2532 forgiveG863 usG2254 ourG2257 debtsG3783, asG2532+G5613 weG2249 forgiveG863 ourG2257 debtorsG3781.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG5216 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5213:
ButG1161 ifG3362 ye forgiveG863 notG3362 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, neitherG3761 will yourG5216 FatherG3962 forgiveG863 yourG5216 trespassesG3900.
But forasmuch asG1161 heG846 hadG2192 notG3361 to payG591, hisG846 lordG2962 commandedG2753 himG846 to be soldG4097, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 payment to be madeG591.
The servantG1401 thereforeG3767 fell downG4098, and worshippedG4352 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956. {worshipped him: or, besought him}
ThenG1161 the lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 was moved with compassionG4697, and loosedG630 himG846, andG2532 forgaveG863 himG846 the debtG1156.
ButG1161 the sameG1565 servantG1401 went outG1831, and foundG2147 oneG1520 of hisG846 fellowservantsG4889, whichG3739 owedG3784 himG846 an hundredG1540 penceG1220: andG2532 he laid handsG2902 on himG846, and took him by the throatG4155, sayingG3004, PayG591 meG3427 thatG3748 thou owestG3784. {pence: the Roman penny is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
AndG3767 hisG846 fellowservantG4889 fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, and besoughtG3870 himG846, sayingG3004, Have patienceG3114 withG1909 meG1698, andG2532 I will payG591 theeG4671 allG3956.
AndG1161 he wouldG2309 notG3756: butG235 wentG565 and castG906 himG846 intoG1519 prisonG5438, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 the debtG3784.
SoG1161 when hisG846 fellowservantsG4889 sawG1492 what was doneG1096, they were veryG4970 sorryG3076, andG2532 cameG2064 and toldG1285 unto theirG846 lordG2962 allG3956 that was doneG1096.
ThenG5119 hisG846 lordG2962, after that he had calledG4341 himG846, saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou wickedG4190 servantG1401, I forgaveG863 theeG4671 allG3956 thatG1565 debtG3782, becauseG1893 thou desiredstG3870 meG3165:
ShouldestG1163 notG3756 thouG4571 alsoG2532 have had compassionG1653 on thyG4675 fellowservantG4889, evenG2532 asG5613 IG1473 had pityG1653 on theeG4571?
AndG2532 hisG846 lordG2962 was wrothG3710, and deliveredG3860 himG846 to the tormentorsG930, tillG2193+G3739 he should payG591 allG3956 that was dueG3784 unto himG846.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye lendG1155 to them ofG3844 whomG3739 ye hopeG1679 to receiveG618, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 alsoG2532 lendG1155 to sinnersG268, toG2443 receiveG618 as muchG2470 againG618.
ButG4133 love yeG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, andG2532 do goodG15, andG2532 lendG1155, hopingG560 for nothingG3367 againG560; andG2532 yourG5216 rewardG3408 shall beG2071 greatG4183, andG2532 ye shall beG2071 the childrenG5207 of the HighestG5310: forG3754 heG846 isG2076 kindG5543 untoG1909 the unthankfulG884 andG2532 to the evilG4190.
Be yeG1096 thereforeG3767 mercifulG3629, asG2531 yourG5216 FatherG3962 alsoG2532 isG2076 mercifulG3629.
JudgeG2919 notG3361, andG2532 ye shallG2919 notG3364 be judgedG2919: condemnG2613 notG3361, andG2532 ye shallG2613 notG3364 be condemnedG2613: forgiveG630, andG2532 ye shall be forgivenG630:
GiveG1325, andG2532 it shall be givenG1325 unto youG5213; goodG2570 measureG3358, pressed downG4085, andG2532 shaken togetherG4531, andG2532 running overG5240, shall men giveG1325 intoG1519 yourG5216 bosomG2859. ForG1063 with the sameG846 measureG3358 thatG3739 ye mete withalG3354 it shall be measuredG488 to youG5213 againG488.
