Deuteronomy 15:1-2
Release for Debt Slaves
15:1 At the end of every seven years you must declare a cancellation of debts.
15:2 This is the nature of the cancellation: Every creditor must remit what he has loaned to another person; he must not force payment from his fellow Israelite, for it is to be recognized as “the Lord’s cancellation of debts.”
Deuteronomy 15:9
15:9 Be careful lest you entertain the wicked thought that the seventh year, the year of cancellation of debts, has almost arrived, and your attitude
be wrong toward your impoverished fellow Israelite
and you do not lend
him anything; he will cry out to the
Lord against you and you will be regarded as having sinned.
