Deuteronomy 15:1-6 - Debts Canceled

1 "You must cancel your debts at the end of every seventh year. 2 This is the way to conduct remission: every creditor must cancel the loan that his friend borrowed, and he must not pressure his friend or brother to repay it, because remission to the LORD will be proclaimed. 3 You may exact payment from a foreigner, but cancel whatever your brother owes you.

4 Moreover, there will be no poor person among you, for the LORD will surely bless you in the land that he is about to give you to possess. 5 Only be certain to obey the voice of the LORD your God. Carefully observe all of these commands that I'm commanding to you today. 6 For the LORD your God will bless you just as he promised. You are to lend to many nations but not borrow. Also, you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you."
