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 shall 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 it)
5. if only you diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you today.
