Deuteronomy 15:7

Compare all

5 only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today.

6 For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; ^ayou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

Generosity to the Poor

7 “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the¹ gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, ^ayou shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,

8 but ^ayou shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs.

9 Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your ^aeye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and ^bhe cry out to the Lord against you, and ^cit become sin among you.

10 You shall surely give to him, and ^ayour heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because ^bfor this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.

11 For ^athe poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall¹ open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

The Law Concerning Bondservants

12 ^a“If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is ^bsold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
