Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
`
At the end of seven years thou
dost
make
a
release,
At the end of every
seven years you
must
cancel
debts.
and
this `
is '
the matter
of the
release
: Every owner
of
a
loan
`is'
to
release
his
hand
which
he doth
lift
up
against
his neighbour,
he doth
not exact
of
his
neighbour
and
of
his brother, but
hath
proclaimed
a
release to
Jehovah;
This is the manner
of remission
: Every creditor
shall
cancel
what
he has
loaned
to
his neighbor.
He is
not to
collect
anything
from
his neighbor
or
brother, because
the
LORD’s
time
of
release has
been
proclaimed.
of
the
stranger
thou
mayest
exact
, and
that
which
is
thine
with
thy
brother doth
thy
hand
release;
You
may
collect
something
from
a
foreigner
, but
you
must
forgive
whatever
your
brother owes
you.
only
when
there is
no needy
one
with
thee
, for
Jehovah
doth
greatly
bless thee
in the land which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to thee
--
an inheritance to
possess
it.
There will
be
no poor
among
you
, however,
because
the
LORD
will
surely
bless you
in the land that
the
LORD
your
God is giving you
to possess
as
an inheritance ,
`Only,
if thou
dost
diligently
hearken
to
the voice
of
Jehovah
thy
God ,
to
observe
to do
all this
command
which
I am commanding
thee
to-day,
if only
you
obey
the LORD
your
God and
are
careful
to follow
all these
commandments
I am giving
you
today.
for
Jehovah
thy
God hath
blessed
thee
as He hath
spoken
to
thee;
and
thou
hast
lent
`
to '
many nations ,
and
thou
hast
not
borrowed
; and
thou
hast
ruled
over many nations ,
and
over
thee
they
do
not
rule
.
When
the
LORD
your
God blesses
you
as He has
promised,
you
will
lend
to many nations but
borrow
from
none
; you
will
rule
over many nations but
be
ruled
by
none
.
`When
there is with
thee
any needy
one
of one
of
thy
brethren,
in
one
of
thy
cities,
in thy
land which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to
thee
, thou
dost
not harden thy
heart ,
nor
shut thy
hand from thy
needy
brother ;
If
there is a
poor
man
among
your
brothers
within
any of the
gates
in the
land that
the
LORD
your
God is giving you
, then
you
are
not to
harden your
heart or
shut your
hand from your
poor
brother .
for
thou
dost
certainly
open thy
hand to him ,
and dost
certainly
lend
him sufficient
for
his
lack
which
he lacketh
.
Instead,
you
are
to
open your
hand to him and freely
loan
him whatever
he needs
.
`Take
heed
to
thee
lest
there
be a
word
in thy
heart --
worthless,
saying,
Near
`is'
the seventh year, the year of release ;
and
thine
eye
is evil
against
thy
needy
brother
, and thou
dost
not
give to
him ,
and
he hath
called
concerning
thee
unto
Jehovah
, and it
hath
been
in
thee
sin ;
Be careful
not
to
harbor
this
wicked
thought
in your
heart :
“
The seventh year, the year of release ,
is near
, ”
so
that
you
look
upon
your
poor
brother
begrudgingly
and give him nothing.
He will
cry
out
to
the
LORD
against
you
, and you
will
be
guilty
of
sin .
thou
dost
certainly
give to him, and thy
heart
is
not sad
in
thy
giving
to
him,
for
because of this thing
doth
Jehovah
thy
God bless thee
in all thy
works,
and in every
putting
forth
of
thy
hand ;
Give generously
to him, and do
not let
your
heart
be
grieved
when
you
do
so.
And
because of this the
LORD
your
God will
bless you
in all your
work
and in everything
to
which
you
put
your
hand .
because
the
needy
one
doth
not
cease out
of
the land ,
therefore
I am commanding thee,
saying,
Thou
dost
certainly
open thy
hand to thy
brother ,
to thy
poor ,
and to
thy
needy one,
in thy
land.
For
there
will
never
cease to
be
poor
in
the land ;
that
is
why
I am commanding you
to
open wide
your
hand to your
brother and
to the
poor and needy in your
land.
`When
thy
brother
is
sold
to
thee,
a Hebrew or a Hebrewess
, and he
hath
served
thee
six years --
then in the seventh year thou
dost
send
him away
free from
thee
.
If
a fellow
Hebrew ,
a
man
or a woman
, is
sold
to
you
and serves
you
six years ,
then in the seventh year you
must
set
him free.
And when thou
dost
send
him away
free
from
thee
, thou
dost
not send him away empty ;
And when you
release
him, do
not send him away empty -handed.
thou
dost
certainly
encircle
him out
of
thy
flock, and
out
of
thy
threshing -
floor, and out
of
thy
wine-vat;
`of'
that
which
Jehovah
thy
God
hath
blessed
thee
thou
dost
give to him ,
You
are
to
furnish
him liberally
from
your
flock, your
threshing floor, and your
winepress.
You
shall
give to him as
the
LORD
your
God
has
blessed
you.
and
thou
hast
remembered
that a
servant
thou
hast
been
in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah
thy
God doth
ransom
thee
; therefore
I am commanding
thee
this thing
to-day
.
Remember
that you
were
slaves
in the land of Egypt, and the
LORD
your
God redeemed
you
; that
is
why
I am giving
you
this command
today
.
`And
it
hath
been,
when
he
saith
unto
thee
, I go
not out
from
thee
--
because he hath
loved
thee,
and thy
house,
because
`it
is '
good
for
him
with thee
--
But
if
your
servant
says
to
you
, ‘
I do
not want
to
leave
you,’
because he loves
you
and your
household
and
is well
off
with you,
then thou
hast
taken
the
awl ,
and hast
put
`
it '
through his ear ,
and
through
the door, and he hath
been
to
thee
a
servant age-during;
and also
to
thy
handmaid
thou
dost
do
so
.
then take
an
awl and pierce
it through his ear into
the door, and he will
become
your
servant for
life.
And treat
your
maidservant
the
same
way
.
`It
is
not hard
in
thine
eyes,
in
thy
sending
him
away
free from
thee;
for
the
double
of the hire
of an
hireling
he
hath
served
thee
six
years,
and Jehovah
thy
God hath
blessed
thee
in all that
thou
dost
.
Do
not regard
it
as
a
hardship
to
set
your
servant
free ,
because
his
six
years
of service
were
worth
twice
the wages
of a
hired
hand.
And the
LORD
your
God will
bless
you
in all you
do
.
`Every
firstling
that
is
born
in
thy
herd
and
in
thy
flock
--
the
male
thou
dost
sanctify
to Jehovah
thy
God ;
thou
dost
not work
with
the firstling
of thine
ox
, nor shear the firstling
of thy
flock ;
You
must
set
apart
to the
LORD
your
God every
firstborn
male
produced
by
your
herds
and
flocks.
You
are
not to
put
the firstborn
of your
oxen
to
work
, nor are
you
to
shear the firstborn
of your
flock .
before
Jehovah
thy
God
thou
dost
eat it year
by
year,
in the place which
Jehovah
doth
choose ,
thou
and
thy
house
.
Each
year
you
and
your
household
are
to
eat it before
the
LORD
your
God
in the place the
LORD
will
choose.
`And
when
there
is
in
it
a blemish
, lame ,
or blind, any evil
blemish
, thou
dost
not sacrifice it to Jehovah
thy
God ;
But
if
an
animal
has
a defect
, is
lame or blind, or
has
any serious
flaw
, you
must
not sacrifice it to the
LORD
your
God .
within
thy
gates
thou
dost
eat it ,
the unclean and the
clean alike,
as
the
roe,
and
as the
hart
.
Eat it within
your
gates;
both
the ceremonially
unclean and clean may
eat
it
as they
would
a
gazelle
or
a
deer
.
Only,
its
blood
thou
dost
not eat ;
on
the earth
thou
dost
pour it as
water.
But
you
must
not eat the blood;
pour it on
the
ground
like
water.
