Deuteronomy 15:1

Verse 1 of 23. The 15th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.

1At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

2And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the Lord’s release.

3Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;

4Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the Lord shall greatly bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:

5Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
