Chapter 15 At the end of every seven years
thou shalt make a release, and this is the

00:07.340 --> 00:08.300
manner of the release.

00:09.200 --> 00:13.020
Every creditor that lendeth aught unto his
neighbour shall release it.

00:13.420 --> 00:18.120
He shall not exact it of his neighbour,
or of his brother, because it is called

00:18.120 --> 00:19.120
the Lord's release.

00:20.160 --> 00:25.020
Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again,
but that which is thine with thy brother

00:25.020 --> 00:29.560
thine hand shall release, save when there
shall be no poor among you.

00:29.920 --> 00:33.920
For the Lord shall greatly bless thee in
the land which the Lord thy God giveth

00:33.920 --> 00:35.900
thee for an inheritance to possess it.

00:36.360 --> 00:40.600
Only if thou carefully hearken unto the
voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to

00:40.600 --> 00:43.640
do all these commandments which I command
thee this day.

00:44.520 --> 00:49.280
For the Lord thy God blesseth thee,
as he promised thee, and thou shalt lend

00:49.280 --> 00:52.060
unto many nations, but thou shalt not
borrow.

00:52.060 --> 00:56.920
And thou shalt reign over many nations,
but they shall not reign over thee.

00:58.040 --> 01:02.740
If there be among you a poor man,
of one of thy brethren, within any of thy

01:02.740 --> 01:07.260
gates in thy land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine

01:07.260 --> 01:10.300
heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor
brother.

01:11.160 --> 01:15.880
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto
him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient

01:15.880 --> 01:18.520
for his need in that which he wanteth.

01:19.200 --> 01:24.260
Beware that there be not a thought in thy
wicked heart, saying, The seventh year,

01:24.580 --> 01:28.420
the year of release, is at hand,
and thine eye be evil against thy poor

01:28.420 --> 01:30.300
brother, and thou givest him not.

01:30.820 --> 01:34.700
And he cry unto the Lord against thee,
and it be sin unto thee.

01:35.360 --> 01:40.440
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine
heart shall not be grieved, and thou

01:40.440 --> 01:41.320
givest unto him.

01:41.960 --> 01:46.700
Because that for this thing the Lord thy
God shall bless thee in all thy works,

01:47.160 --> 01:49.580
and in all that thou puttest thine hand
unto.

01:50.420 --> 01:53.000
For the poor shall never cease out of the
land.

01:53.500 --> 01:58.800
Therefore I command thee, saying,
Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy

01:58.800 --> 02:02.680
brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy in
thy land.

02:03.400 --> 02:07.800
And if thy brother, an Hebrew man,
or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee,

02:08.080 --> 02:12.880
and serve thee six years, that in the
seventh year thou shalt let him go free

02:12.880 --> 02:13.380
from thee.

02:14.280 --> 02:19.300
And when thou sendest him out free from
thee, thou shalt not let him go away

02:19.300 --> 02:19.680
empty.

02:20.180 --> 02:24.400
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of
thy flock, and out of thy floor,

02:24.740 --> 02:26.060
and out of thy winepress.

02:26.060 --> 02:30.980
Of that wherewith the Lord thy God hath
blessed thee, thou shalt give unto him.

02:31.540 --> 02:36.360
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a
bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord

02:36.360 --> 02:37.700
thy God redeemed thee.

02:38.140 --> 02:40.660
Therefore I command thee this thing today.

02:41.200 --> 02:45.640
And it shall be, if he say unto thee,
I will not go away from thee, because he

02:45.640 --> 02:48.500
loveth thee in thine house, because he is
well with thee.

02:49.140 --> 02:53.420
Then thou shalt take an all, and thrust it
through his ear unto the door,

02:53.640 --> 02:55.780
and he shall be thy servant for ever.

02:56.360 --> 02:59.680
And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt
do likewise.

03:00.420 --> 03:04.820
It shall not seem hard unto thee,
when thou sendest him away free from thee.

03:05.260 --> 03:09.180
For he hath been worth a double hired
servant to thee, in serving thee six

03:09.180 --> 03:12.980
years, and the Lord thy God shall bless
thee in all that thou doest.

03:14.120 --> 03:19.300
All the firstling males that come of thy
herd and of thy flock, thou shalt sanctify

03:19.300 --> 03:20.740
unto the Lord thy God.

03:21.340 --> 03:26.160
Thou shalt do no work with the firstling
of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of

03:26.160 --> 03:26.700
thy sheep.

03:27.460 --> 03:32.120
Thou shalt eat it before the Lord thy God
year by year, in the place which the Lord

03:32.120 --> 03:34.520
shall choose thou and thy household.

03:34.520 --> 03:39.900
And if there be any blemish therein,
as if it be lame, or blind, or have any

03:39.900 --> 03:43.640
ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it
unto the Lord thy God.

03:44.320 --> 03:46.160
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates.

03:46.460 --> 03:51.580
The unclean and the clean person shall eat
it alike, as the roebuck, and as the

03:51.580 --> 03:51.860
heart.

03:52.700 --> 03:55.000
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof.

03:55.340 --> 03:57.620
Thou shalt pour it upon the ground as
water.
