Deuteronomy 15

KJV

1  At the end4480 7093 of every seven7651 years8141 thou shalt make6213 a release.8059

2  And this2088 is the manner1697 of the release:8059 Every3605 creditor1167 4874 3027 that834 lendeth5383 aught unto his neighbor7453 shall release8058 it; he shall not3808 exact5065 853 it of his neighbor,7453 or of his brother;251 because3588 it is called7121 the LORD's3068 release.8059

3  Of 853 a foreigner5237 thou mayest exact5065 it again: but that which834 is1961 thine with854 thy brother251 thine hand3027 shall release;8058

4  Save657 when3588 there shall be1961 no3808 poor34 among you; for3588 the LORD3068 shall greatly bless1288 1288 thee in the land776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee for an inheritance5159 to possess3423 it:

5  Only7535 if518 thou carefully hearken8085 8085 unto the voice6963 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 to observe8104 to do6213 853 all3605 these2063 commandments4687 which834 I595 command6680 thee this day.3117

6  For3588 the LORD3068 thy God430 blesseth1288 thee, as834 he promised1696 thee: and thou shalt lend5670 unto many7227 nations,1471 but thou859 shalt not3808 borrow;5670 and thou shalt reign4910 over many7227 nations,1471 but they shall not3808 reign4910 over thee.

7  If3588 there be1961 among you a poor man34 of one4480 259 of thy brethren251 within any259 of thy gates8179 in thy land776 which834 the LORD3068 thy God430 giveth5414 thee, thou shalt not3808 harden553 853 thine heart,3824 nor3808 shut7092 853 thine hand3027 from thy poor34 brother:4480 251

8  But3588 thou shalt open6605 853 thine hand3027 wide6605 unto him, and shalt surely lend5670 5670 him sufficient1767 for his need,4270 in that which834 he wanteth.2637

9  Beware8104 that6435 there be1961 not a thought1697 in5973 thy wicked1100 heart,3824 saying,559 The seventh7651 year,8141 the year8141 of release,8059 is at hand;7126 and thine eye5869 be evil7489 against thy poor34 brother,251 and thou givest5414 him naught;3808 and he cry7121 unto413 the LORD3068 against5921 thee, and it be1961 sin2399 unto thee.

10  Thou shalt surely give5414 5414 him, and thine heart3824 shall not3808 be grieved7489 when thou givest5414 unto him: because that3588 for1558 this2088 thing1697 the LORD3068 thy God430 shall bless1288 thee in all3605 thy works,4639 and in all3605 that thou puttest4916 thine hand3027 unto.

11  For3588 the poor34 shall never3808 cease2308 out of4480 7130 the land:776 therefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee, saying,559 Thou shalt open6605 853 thine hand3027 wide6605 unto thy brother,251 to thy poor,6041 and to thy needy,34 in thy land.776

12  And if3588 thy brother,251 a Hebrew man,5680 or176 a Hebrew woman,5680 be sold4376 unto thee, and serve5647 thee six8337 years;8141 then in the seventh7637 year8141 thou shalt let him go7971 free2670 from4480 5973 thee.

13  And when3588 thou sendest him out7971 free2670 from4480 5973 thee, thou shalt not3808 let him go away7971 empty:7387

14  Thou shalt furnish him liberally6059 6059 out of thy flock,4480 6629 and out of thy floor,4480 1637 and out of thy winepress:4480 3342 of that wherewith834 the LORD3068 thy God430 hath blessed1288 thee thou shalt give5414 unto him.

15  And thou shalt remember2142 that3588 thou wast1961 a bondman5650 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and the LORD3068 thy God430 redeemed6299 thee: therefore5921 3651 I595 command6680 thee 853 this2088 thing1697 today.3117

16  And it shall be,1961 if3588 he say559 unto413 thee, I will not3808 go away3318 from4480 5973 thee; because3588 he loveth157 thee and thine house,1004 because3588 he is well2896 with5973 thee;

17  Then thou shalt take3947 853 an awl,4836 and thrust5414 it through his ear241 unto the door,1817 and he shall be1961 thy servant5650 forever.5769 And also637 unto thy maidservant519 thou shalt do6213 likewise.3651

18  It shall not3808 seem hard unto thee,7185 5869 when thou sendest him away7971 853 free2670 from4480 5973 thee; for3588 he hath been worth7939 a double4932 hired servant7916 to thee, in serving5647 thee six8337 years:8141 and the LORD3068 thy God430 shall bless1288 thee in all3605 that834 thou doest.6213

19  All3605 the firstling1060 males2145 that834 come3205 of thy herd1241 and of thy flock6629 thou shalt sanctify6942 unto the LORD3068 thy God:430 thou shalt do no3808 work5647 with the firstling1060 of thy bullock,7794 nor3808 shear1494 the firstling1060 of thy sheep.6629

20  Thou shalt eat398 it before6440 the LORD3068 thy God430 year8141 by year8141 in the place4725 which834 the LORD3068 shall choose,977 thou859 and thy household.1004

21  And if3588 there be1961 any blemish3971 therein, as if it be lame,6455 or176 blind,5787 or have any3605 ill7451 blemish,3971 thou shalt not3808 sacrifice2076 it unto the LORD3068 thy God.430

22  Thou shalt eat398 it within thy gates:8179 the unclean2931 and the clean2889 person shall eat it alike,3162 as the roebuck,6643 and as the hart.354

23  Only7535 thou shalt not3808 eat398 853 the blood1818 thereof; thou shalt pour8210 it upon5921 the ground776 as water.4325

1 δι᾽ ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν ποιήσεις ἄφεσιν

2 καὶ οὕτως τὸ πρόσταγμα τῆς ἀφέσεως ἀφήσεις πᾶν χρέος ἴδιον ὃ ὀφείλει σοι ὁ πλησίον καὶ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου οὐκ ἀπαιτήσεις ὅτι ἐπικέκληται ἄφεσις κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου

3 τὸν ἀλλότριον ἀπαιτήσεις ὅσα ἐὰν ᾖ σοι παρ᾽ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου ἄφεσιν ποιήσεις τοῦ χρέους σου

4 ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ ἐνδεής ὅτι εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσει σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν τῇ γῇ ᾗ κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι ἐν κλήρῳ κατακληρονομῆσαι αὐτήν

5 ἐὰν δὲ ἀκοῇ εἰσακούσητε τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν φυλάσσειν καὶ ποιεῖν πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον

6 ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεός σου εὐλόγησέν σε ὃν τρόπον ἐλάλησέν σοι καὶ δανιεῖς ἔθνεσιν πολλοῖς σὺ δὲ οὐ δανιῇ καὶ ἄρξεις σὺ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν σοῦ δὲ οὐκ ἄρξουσιν

7 ἐὰν δὲ γένηται ἐν σοὶ ἐνδεὴς τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων σου ἐν τῇ γῇ ᾗ κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι οὐκ ἀποστέρξεις τὴν καρδίαν σου οὐδ᾽ οὐ μὴ συσφίγξῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου τοῦ ἐπιδεομένου

8 ἀνοίγων ἀνοίξεις τὰς χεῖράς σου αὐτῷ δάνειον δανιεῖς αὐτῷ ὅσον ἐπιδέεται καθ᾽ ὅσον ἐνδεεῖται

9 πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ μὴ γένηται ῥῆμα κρυπτὸν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου ἀνόμημα λέγων ἐγγίζει τὸ ἔτος τὸ ἕβδομον ἔτος τῆς ἀφέσεως καὶ πονηρεύσηται ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου τῷ ἐπιδεομένῳ καὶ οὐ δώσεις αὐτῷ καὶ βοήσεται κατὰ σοῦ πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ ἁμαρτία μεγάλη

10 διδοὺς δώσεις αὐτῷ καὶ δάνειον δανιεῖς αὐτῷ ὅσον ἐπιδέεται καὶ οὐ λυπηθήσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου διδόντος σου αὐτῷ ὅτι διὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο εὐλογήσει σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔργοις καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν οὗ ἂν ἐπιβάλῃς τὴν χεῖρά σου

11 οὐ γὰρ μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἐνδεὴς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς διὰ τοῦτο ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι ποιεῖν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο λέγων ἀνοίγων ἀνοίξεις τὰς χεῖράς σου τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου τῷ πένητι καὶ τῷ ἐπιδεομένῳ τῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς σου

12 ἐὰν δὲ πραθῇ σοι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ὁ Εβραῖος ἢ ἡ Εβραία δουλεύσει σοι ἓξ ἔτη καὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἐξαποστελεῖς αὐτὸν ἐλεύθερον ἀπὸ σοῦ

13 ὅταν δὲ ἐξαποστέλλῃς αὐτὸν ἐλεύθερον ἀπὸ σοῦ οὐκ ἐξαποστελεῖς αὐτὸν κενόν

14 ἐφόδιον ἐφοδιάσεις αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων σου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ληνοῦ σου καθὰ εὐλόγησέν σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου δώσεις αὐτῷ

15 καὶ μνησθήσῃ ὅτι οἰκέτης ἦσθα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐλυτρώσατό σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκεῖθεν διὰ τοῦτο ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι ποιεῖν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο

16 ἐὰν δὲ λέγῃ πρὸς σέ οὐκ ἐξελεύσομαι ἀπὸ σοῦ ὅτι ἠγάπηκέν σε καὶ τὴν οἰκίαν σου ὅτι εὖ αὐτῷ ἐστιν παρὰ σοί

17 καὶ λήμψῃ τὸ ὀπήτιον καὶ τρυπήσεις τὸ ὠτίον αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν θύραν καὶ ἔσται σοι οἰκέτης εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ τὴν παιδίσκην σου ποιήσεις ὡσαύτως

18 οὐ σκληρὸν ἔσται ἐναντίον σου ἐξαποστελλομένων αὐτῶν ἐλευθέρων ἀπὸ σοῦ ὅτι ἐφέτιον μισθὸν τοῦ μισθωτοῦ ἐδούλευσέν σοι ἓξ ἔτη καὶ εὐλογήσει σε κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐὰν ποιῇς

19 πᾶν πρωτότοκον ὃ ἐὰν τεχθῇ ἐν τοῖς βουσίν σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προβάτοις σου τὰ ἀρσενικά ἁγιάσεις κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου οὐκ ἐργᾷ ἐν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ μόσχῳ σου καὶ οὐ μὴ κείρῃς τὸ πρωτότοκον τῶν προβάτων σου

20 ἔναντι κυρίου φάγῃ αὐτὸ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐξ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἐὰν ἐκλέξηται κύριος ὁ θεός σου σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου

21 ἐὰν δὲ ᾖ ἐν αὐτῷ μῶμος χωλὸν ἢ τυφλὸν ἢ καὶ πᾶς μῶμος πονηρός οὐ θύσεις αὐτὸ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου

22 ἐν ταῖς πόλεσίν σου φάγῃ αὐτό ὁ ἀκάθαρτος ἐν σοὶ καὶ ὁ καθαρὸς ὡσαύτως ἔδεται ὡς δορκάδα ἢ ἔλαφον

23 πλὴν τὸ αἷμα οὐ φάγεσθε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκχεεῖς αὐτὸ ὡς ὕδωρ

1 Septimo anno facies remissionem,

2 quæ hoc ordine celebrabitur. Cui debetur aliquid ab amico vel proximo ac fratre suo, repetere non poterit, quia annus remissionis est Domini.

3 A peregrino et advena exiges: civem et propinquum repetendi non habebis potestatem.

4 Et omnino indigens et mendicus non erit inter vos: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in terra, quam traditurus est tibi in possessionem.

5 Si tamen audieris vocem Domini Dei tui, et custodieris universa quæ jussit, et quæ ego hodie præcipio tibi, benedicet tibi, ut pollicitus est.

6 Fœnerabis gentibus multis, et ipse a nullo accipies mutuum. Dominaberis nationibus plurimis, et tui nemo dominabitur.

7 Si unus de fratribus tuis, qui morantur intra portas civitatis tuæ in terra quam Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi, ad paupertatem venerit, non obdurabis cor tuum, nec contrahes manum,

8 sed aperies eam pauperi, et dabis mutuum, quo eum indigere perspexeris.

9 Cave ne forte subrepat tibi impia cogitatio, et dicas in corde tuo: Appropinquat septimus annus remissionis: et avertas oculos tuos a paupere fratre tuo, nolens ei quod postulat mutuum commodare: ne clamet contra te ad Dominum, et fiat tibi in peccatum.

10 Sed dabis ei: nec ages quippiam callide in ejus necessitatibus sublevandis, ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in omni tempore, et in cunctis ad quæ manum miseris.

11 Non deerunt pauperes in terra habitationis tuæ: idcirco ego præcipio tibi, ut aperias manum fratri tuo egeno et pauperi, qui tecum versatur in terra.

12 Cum tibi venditus fuerit frater tuus Hebræus aut Hebræa, et sex annis servierit tibi, in septimo anno dimittes eum liberum:

13 et quem libertate donaveris, nequaquam vacuum abire patieris:

14 sed dabis viaticum de gregibus, et de area, et torculari tuo, quibus Dominus Deus tuus benedixerit tibi.

15 Memento quod et ipse servieris in terra Ægypti, et liberaverit te Dominus Deus tuus, et idcirco ego nunc præcipio tibi.

16 Sin autem dixerit: Nolo egredi: eo quod diligat te, et domum tuam, et bene sibi apud te esse sentiat:

17 assumes subulam, et perforabis aurem ejus in janua domus tuæ, et serviet tibi usque in æternum. Ancillæ quoque similiter facies.

18 Non avertas ab eis oculos tuos, quando dimiseris eos liberos, quoniam juxta mercedem mercenarii per sex annos servivit tibi: ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis operibus quæ agis.

19 De primogenitis, quæ nascuntur in armentis, et in ovibus tuis, quidquid est sexus masculini, sanctificabis Domino Deo tuo. Non operaberis in primogenito bovis, et non tondebis primogenita ovium.

20 In conspectu Domini Dei tui comedes ea per annos singulos in loco quem elegerit Dominus, tu et domus tua.

21 Sin autem habuerit maculam, vel claudum fuerit, vel cæcum, aut in aliqua parte deforme vel debile, non immolabitur Domino Deo tuo:

22 sed intra portas urbis tuæ comedes illud: tam mundus quam immundus similiter vescentur eis, quasi caprea et cervo.

23 Hoc solum observabis, ut sanguinem eorum non comedas, sed effundes in terram quasi aquam.
