“At the end of seven years you shall grant a remission of debt. 2 And this is the manner of the remission of debt: every ⌊creditor⌋a shall remit his claim that he holds against his neighbor, and he shall not exact payment from his brother because thereb a remission of debt has been proclaimed untoc Yahweh. 3 With respect to the foreigner you may exact payment, but ⌊you must remit⌋d what shall be owed to you with respect to your brother. 4 Nevertheless, theree shall not be among you a poor person, because Yahweh will certainly bless you in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance, to take possession of it. 5 If only you listen well to the voice of Yahweh your God ⌊by observing diligently⌋f all of these commandmentsg that I am commanding you ⌊today⌋.h 6 When Yahweh your God has blessed you, just as he ⌊promised⌋i to you, then you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow from them, and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.
