1 “At the end of ^jevery seven years you shall grant a release. 2 And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because the Lord’s release has been proclaimed. 3 ^kOf a foreigner you may exact it, but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release. 4 ^lBut there will be no poor among you; ^mfor the Lord will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess— 5 ⁿif only you will strictly obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today.
