Deuteronomy 15:1-6 - Debts Canceled

1 Release all debts at the end of every seven years. 2 This is how you should release. Every man who has a loan to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not require it from his neighbor, or from his brother, because it is called Jehovah's release. 3 You may collect from a foreigner, but your hand should release that debt which is yours with your brother.

4 There should not be any poor people among you. Jehovah your God will certainly bless you in the land he is giving you as your own possession. 5 He will bless you only if you listen carefully to Jehovah your God and faithfully obey all these commandments I give you today. 6 Jehovah your God will bless you, as he promised. You will make loans to many nations. But you will not have to borrow from any of them. You will rule many nations. But no nation will ever rule over you.
