| Deuteronomy 15:1 | In the seventh year thou shalt make a remission, | At the end of seven years thou shalt make a release, | At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt. |
| Deuteronomy 15:2 | Which shall be celebrated in this order. He to whom any thing is owing from his friend or neighbour or brother, cannot demand it again, because it is the year of remission of the Lord, | and this is the manner of the release: Every creditor shall relax his hand from the loan which he hath lent unto his neighbour; he shall not demand it of his neighbour, or of his brother; for a release to Jehovah hath been proclaimed. | This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord. |
| Deuteronomy 15:3 | Of the foreigner or stranger thou mayst exact it: of thy countryman and neighbour thou shalt not have power to demand it again. | Of the foreigner thou mayest demand it; but what is thine with thy brother thy hand shall release; | A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go; |
| Deuteronomy 15:4 | And there shall be no poor nor beggar among you: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in the land which he will give thee in possession. | save when there shall be no one in need among you; for Jehovah will greatly bless thee in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, | But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will certainly give you his blessing in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage; |
| Deuteronomy 15:5 | Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep all things that he hath ordained, and which I command thee this day, he will bless thee, as he hath promised. | if thou only diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to take heed to do all this commandment which I command thee this day. | If only you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today. |
| Deuteronomy 15:6 | Thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt borrow of no man. Thou shalt have dominion over very many nations, and no one shall have dominion over thee. | For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee; and thou shalt lend on pledge to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee. | For the Lord your God will give you his blessing as he has said: you will let other nations have the use of your money, but you will not make use of theirs; you will be rulers over a number of nations, but they will not be your rulers. |
| Deuteronomy 15:7 | If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within the gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, | If there be amongst you a poor man, any one of thy brethren in one of thy gates, in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy brother in need; | If in any of your towns in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, there is a poor man, one of your countrymen, do not let your heart be hard or your hand shut to him; |
| Deuteronomy 15:8 | But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of. | but thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto him, and shalt certainly lend him on pledge what is sufficient for his need, [in that] which he lacketh. | But let your hand be open to give him the use of whatever he is in need of. |
| Deuteronomy 15:9 | Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee. | Beware that there be not a wicked thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry against thee to Jehovah, and it be sin in thee. | And see that there is no evil thought in your heart, moving you to say to yourself, The seventh year, the year of forgiveness is near; and so looking coldly on your poor countryman you give him nothing; and he will make an outcry to the Lord against you, and it will be judged as sin in you. |
| Deuteronomy 15:10 | But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy hand. | Thou shalt bountifully give unto him, and thy heart shall not be evil-disposed when thou givest unto him; because for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works, and in all the business of thy hand. | But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand. |
| Deuteronomy 15:11 | There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation: therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother, that liveth in the land. | For the needy shall never cease from within the land; therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand bountifully unto thy brother, to thy poor and to thy needy, in thy land. | For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land. |
| Deuteronomy 15:12 | When thy brother a Hebrew man, or Hebrew woman is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free: | If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, have been sold unto thee, he shall serve thee six years, and in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. | If one of your countrymen, a Hebrew man or woman, becomes your servant for a price and does work for you six years, in the seventh year let him go free. |
| Deuteronomy 15:13 | And when thou sendest him out free, thou shalt not let him go away empty: | And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty; | And when you make him free, do not let him go away with nothing in his hands: |
| Deuteronomy 15:14 | But shalt give him for his way out of thy flocks, and out of thy barnfloor, and thy winepress, wherewith the Lord thy God shall bless thee. | thou shalt certainly furnish him from thy sheep, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of what Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee with shalt thou give unto him. | But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him. |
| Deuteronomy 15:15 | Remember that thou also wast a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God made thee free, and therefore I now command thee this. | And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and that Jehovah thy God redeemed thee; therefore I command thee this thing to-day. | And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today. |
| Deuteronomy 15:16 | But if he say: I will not depart: because he loveth thee, and thy house, and findeth that he is well with thee: | And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee, because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee, | But if he says to you, I have no desire to go away from you; because you and your family are dear to him and he is happy with you; |
| Deuteronomy 15:17 | Thou shalt take an awl, and bore through his ear in the door of thy house, and he shall serve thee for ever: thou shalt do in like manner to thy womanservant also. | then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear and into the door; and he shall be thy bondman for ever. And also unto thy handmaid thou shalt do likewise. | Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl. |
| Deuteronomy 15:18 | Turn not away thy eyes from them when thou makest them tree: because he hath served thee six years according to the wages of a hireling: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works that thou dost. | Let it not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for double the worth of a hired servant hath he been to thee, [in] serving thee six years; and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest. | Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do. |
| Deuteronomy 15:19 | Of the firstlings, that come of thy herds and thy sheep, thou shalt sanctify to the Lord thy God whatsoever is of the male sex. Thou shalt not work with the firstling of a bullock, and thou shalt not shear the firstlings of thy sheep. | Every firstling that is born among thy kine and among thy sheep that is a male, thou shalt hallow to Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy kine, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep. | All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut. |
| Deuteronomy 15:20 | In the sight of the Lord thy God shalt thou eat them every year, in the place that the Lord shall choose, thou and thy house. | Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God, year by year, in the place which Jehovah will choose, thou and thy household. | But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection. |
| Deuteronomy 15:21 | But if it have a blemish, or be lame, or blind, or in any part disfigured or feeble, it shall not be sacrificed to the Lord thy God. | But if there be a defect therein, [if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any evil defect, thou shalt not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God. | But if it has any mark on it, if it is blind or has damaged legs, or if there is anything wrong with it, it may not be offered to the Lord your God. |
| Deuteronomy 15:22 | But thou shalt eat it within the gates of thy city: the clean and the unclean shall eat them alike, as the roe and as the hart. | In thy gates shalt thou eat it; the unclean and the clean [shall eat it] alike, as the gazelle and as the hart. | It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe. |
| Deuteronomy 15:23 | Only thou shalt take heed not to eat their blood, but pour it out on the earth as water. | Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof: thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. | Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water. |
