Deuteronomy 15:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “At the end of seven years you shall grant a remission of debt.

2. And this is the manner of the remission of debt: every creditor shall remit his claim that he holds against his neighbor, and he shall not exact payment from his brother because there a remission of debt has been proclaimed unto Yahweh.

3. With respect to the foreigner you may exact payment, but you must remit what shall be owed to you with respect to your brother.

4. Nevertheless, there shall not be among you a poor person, because Yahweh will certainly bless you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, to take possession of it.

5. If only you listen well to the voice of Yahweh your God by observing diligently all of these commandments that I am commanding you today.
