- "At the end of every seven years
you
shall grant a release of debts.
- "And this is the form of the
release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbour
shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbour or his
brother, because it is called the Lord's release.
- "Of a foreigner you may require it;
but your hand shall release what is owed by your brother,
- "except when there may be no poor
among you; for the Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the
Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance - -
(Deut. 7:13)
- "only if you carefully obey the
voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments
which I command you today.
- "For the Lord your God will bless
you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you
shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not
reign over you. (Deut. 23:12; Deut. 28:44)
- "If there is among you a poor man
of
your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your
God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand
from your
poor brother,
(Lev. 25:35 - 37; Prov.
28:27; 1 John 3:17)
- "but you shall open your hand wide
to
him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.
(Ps. 37:26)
- "Beware lest there be a wicked
thought
in your heart, saying, 'The seventh year, the year of release, is at
hand,
and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him
nothing,
and he cry to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you.
(Deut. 28:54; Deut. 28:56)
