Deuteronomy 15:9-23

15:9

Beware
<08104> (8734)

that there be not a thought
<01697>

in thy wicked
<01100>

heart
<03824>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The seventh
<07651>

year
<08141>_,

the year
<08141>

of release
<08059>_,

is at hand
<07126> (8804)_;

and thine eye
<05869>

be evil
<07489> (8804)

against thy poor
<034>

brother
<0251>_,

and thou givest
<05414> (8799)

him nought; and he cry
<07121> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>

against thee, and it be sin
<02399>

unto thee. {thought: Heb. word} {wicked: Heb. Belial}

15:10

Thou shalt surely
<05414> (8800)

give
<05414> (8799)

him, and thine heart
<03824>

shall not be grieved
<03415> (8799)

when thou givest
<05414> (8800)

unto him: because
<01558>

that for this thing
<01697>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall bless
<01288> (8762)

thee in all thy works
<04639>_,

and in all that thou puttest
<04916>

thine hand
<03027>

unto.

15:11

For the poor
<034>

shall never cease
<02308> (8799)

out of
<07130>

the land
<0776>_:

therefore I command
<06680> (8764)

thee, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou shalt open
<06605> (8799)

thine hand
<03027>

wide
<06605> (8800)

unto thy brother
<0251>_,

to thy poor
<06041>_,

and to thy needy
<034>_,

in thy land
<0776>_.

15:12

[And] if thy brother
<0251>_,

an Hebrew man
<05680>_,

or an Hebrew woman
<05680>_,

be sold
<04376> (8735)

unto thee, and serve
<05647> (8804)

thee six
<08337>

years
<08141>_;

then in the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>

thou shalt let him go
<07971> (8762)

free
<02670>

from thee.

15:13

And when thou sendest
<07971> (8762)

him out free
<02670>

from thee, thou shalt not let him go away
<07971> (8762)

empty
<07387>_:

15:14

Thou shalt furnish
<06059> (8686)

him liberally
<06059> (8687)

out of thy flock
<06629>_,

and out of thy floor
<01637>_,

and out of thy winepress
<03342>_:

[of that] wherewith the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

thee thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)

unto him.

15:15

And thou shalt remember
<02142> (8804)

that thou wast a bondman
<05650>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

redeemed
<06299> (8799)

thee: therefore I command
<06680> (8764)

thee this thing
<01697>

to day
<03117>_.

15:16

And it shall be, if he say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, I will not go away
<03318> (8799)

from thee; because he loveth
<0157> (8804)

thee and thine house
<01004>_,

because he is well
<02895> (8804)

with thee;

15:17

Then thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)

an aul
<04836>_,

and thrust
<05414> (8804)

[it] through his ear
<0241>

unto the door
<01817>_,

and he shall be thy servant
<05650>

for ever
<05769>_.

And also unto thy maidservant
<0519>

thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

likewise.

15:18

It shall not seem hard
<07185> (8799)

unto thee
<05869>_,

when thou sendest him away
<07971> (8763)

free
<02670>

from thee; for he hath been worth
<07939>

a double
<04932>

hired servant
<07916>

[to thee], in serving
<05647> (8804)

thee six
<08337>

years
<08141>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall bless
<01288> (8765)

thee in all that thou doest
<06213> (8799)_.

15:19

All the firstling
<01060>

males
<02145>

that come
<03205> (8735)

of thy herd
<01241>

and of thy flock
<06629>

thou shalt sanctify
<06942> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

thou shalt do no work
<05647> (8799)

with the firstling
<01060>

of thy bullock
<07794>_,

nor shear
<01494> (8799)

the firstling
<01060>

of thy sheep
<06629>_.

15:20

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

[it] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

year
<08141>

by year
<08141>

in the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_,

thou and thy household
<01004>_.

15:21

And if there be [any] blemish
<03971>

therein, [as if it be] lame
<06455>_,

or blind
<05787>_,

[or have] any ill
<07451>

blemish
<03971>_,

thou shalt not sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

it unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

15:22

Thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

it within thy gates
<08179>_:

the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>

[person shall eat it] alike
<03162>_,

as the roebuck
<06643>_,

and as the hart
<0354>_.

15:23

Only thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

thereof; thou shalt pour
<08210> (8799)

it upon the ground
<0776>

as water
<04325>_.
